BYU starting quarterback Jake Retzlaff plans to enter the NCAA Transfer Portal, ESPN reports, as he faces an Honor Code suspension tied to a civil lawsuit in which a woman alleges he raped her.
Retzlaff, who started multiple games for the Cougars in the 2023 season, is currently under investigation by the university in connection with the alleged incident. The case has led to immediate implications within BYU’s internal disciplinary framework, notably its strict Honor Code policies.
While the civil suit is ongoing and no criminal charges have been filed as of now, the legal and disciplinary cloud surrounding Retzlaff has thrown his playing future into uncertainty. His decision to enter the portal suggests he may be seeking a fresh start elsewhere, though his eligibility and future landing spot will likely hinge on how the situation develops.
