Brigham Young football coach Kelani Sitake addressed the loss of quarterback Jake Retzlaff due to violation of school's honor code.

The Jake Retzlaff situation has dominated the headlines at BYU the last several weeks. Last year’s starting quarterback, who led the Cougars to an 11-2 record, would have faced a multi-game suspension for violating the university’s honor code and has decided to transfer to another school.

If Retzlaff does indeed transfer, McCae Hillstead and Treyson Bourguet are the favorites to win the starting job. Class of 2025 prospects Bear Bachmeier and Nolan Keeney both joined the program over the summer as well. But while there are talented options in the room, the loss of Retzlaff dramatically shapes the Big 12 race.
