BOMBSHELL: Jake Retzlaff LEAVING BYU FOOTBALL After Honor Code Violation, Scandal to Transfer Portal

Latest reports indicate that BYU quarterback Jake Retzlaff plans to transfer from the program. This news broke on Sunday, June 29, 2025, with ESPN's Pete Thamel reporting that Retzlaff has "begun informing the staff and players of his plans to leave." This decision comes amid a civil lawsuit filed against Retzlaff in May 2025, alleging sexual assault. While Retzlaff and his lawyers have denied the allegations of sexual assault, they have admitted to a consensual sexual encounter, which is a direct violation of BYU's Honor Code prohibiting premarital sex. Sources suggest that BYU was prepared to suspend Retzlaff for several games (reportedly up to seven games) due to the Honor Code violation. It appears Retzlaff is opting to transfer to avoid this suspension and play his final collegiate season elsewhere. Potential landing spots mentioned in various reports include Notre Dame, Northwestern, and Utah, though these are currently unverified and speculative. The civil lawsuit against Retzlaff remains ongoing. Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors! Gametime Today's episode is brought to you by Gametime.
