Sometimes Called Janimal

Meet Jan Jorgensen. Sometimes he's called "The Janimal". At 6.3/260 he's definately an absolute beast to block against. Back in the HS days Jan was listed at 6.3/235 as a two time 3A First Team All State DE (Helper UT) but was recruited as a linebacker. As a senior at Carbon HS Jorgensen won the 3A state wrestling championship. Although, early in his HS career Jan actually signed with the team up north. However, after McBride got fired he waivered and went with Kentucky. After his mission Jan decided this was the place. Football runs in the family. His older brother also played for the school up north as a TE while his father Jeff played as an Aggie. As a freshman Jan was named Freshman All American by the Sporting News. He started at DE in all 13 contests and was a significant contributer to a "D" that only gave up 14.7pts/game ranking 10th nationally. That same defense also ranked 4th nationally in turnover margin. In 2008 look for "The Janimal" to be constantly double teamed after dominating as a sophomore with 14 sacks.
