BYU starting quarterback Jake Retzlaff is withdrawing from the university and transferring, foregoing the NCAA transfer portal. His decision follows a dismissed lawsuit alleging rape and a subsequent admission of violating BYU's honor code, resulting in a planned seven-game suspension. Retzlaff, who led BYU to an 11-2 record in 2024, expressed gratitude for his time at BYU and excitement for the future. BYU athletics issued a statement wishing him well. His departure creates a three-way quarterback competition for the upcoming season.
