Episode Synopsis
Jake Retzlaff's time at BYU is coming to a close.
Last year's starting quarterback plans to withdraw from the university, opening up a path to transfer without using the NCAA transfer portal, ESPN first reported Friday. Retzlaff will simply enroll at another school, as he confirmed several minutes later on social media.
"BYU has meant more to me than just football," he wrote on Instagram. "It's been a place of growth — spiritually, mentally, and physically. I'm grateful for every teammate, coach, staff member, and fan who's supported me along the way. The relationships and memories I've made in Provo will always be a part of me.
"That said, I'm excited to turn the page and embrace the next chapter. My journey is far from over — and I'm more motivated than ever to keep chasing my goals."
BYU responded with the following statement, its first official comment about the matter Retzlaff was the subject of a civil lawsuit alleging sexual assault in May.
"We are grateful for the time Jake Retzlaff has spent at BYU," the university told KSL.com. "As he moves forward, BYU Athletics understands and respects Jake's decision to withdraw from BYU, and we wish him all the best as he enters the next phase of his career."
