BYU Quarterback Jake Retzlaff Withdraws, Opens Up Opportunities for Others

Jake Retzlaff Withdraws from BYU

On Friday, quarterback Jake Retzlaff announced that he is withdrawing from BYU, signaling the beginning of his transfer process from the school. This decision comes after a challenging season for the 6-foot-3 senior, who struggled with injuries and inconsistent play. Retzlaff, a highly-touted recruit out of high school, had hoped to make a mark at BYU but was unable to secure the starting position. This news comes as a blow to the Cougars, who will now have to look for a new starting quarterback for the upcoming season. Retzlaff's transfer also opens up opportunities for other quarterbacks on the team to step up and prove themselves on the field.
