PROVO — Facing a seven-game suspension, BYU quarterback Jake Retzlaff is leaving the school and will transfer to play for another major college football program, perhaps as soon as this week, the Deseret News has confirmed through multiple sources.
Retzlaff, a redshirt senior who led BYU to an 11-2 record and a No. 13 ranking in 2024, was expected to lead the Cougars again in 2025 and help the team land a high preseason ranking.
Instead, Retzlaff has cleaned out his locker at the Student Athlete Building on the Provo campus and is expected to announce early this week that he will play for another school, a school one source noted that is “in desperate need of an experienced college quarterbac
k.”
