Report: Tulane Green Wave Land High-Profile QB Transfer Jake Retzlaff
ORLEANS PARISH, LOUISIANA, JUL 21 – Retzlaff left BYU after admitting to premarital sex, violating the honor code, and a dismissed sexual assault lawsuit; Tulane vetted the transfer and offers immediate playing time.
- On July 21, 2025, former BYU quarterback Jake Retzlaff verbally committed to transfer to Tulane, marking a key addition for the 2025 season.
- After formally withdrawing from BYU on July 11, 2025, Retzlaff admitted a premarital sex violation and faced a planned seven-game honor code suspension.
- Because he couldn’t enter the transfer portal, Tulane’s Title IX office spent over a week vetting him, and he’s expected to enroll as a walk-on.
- With Darian Mensah off to Duke, Retzlaff joins transfers Brendan Sullivan, Kadin Semonza and Donovan Leary, and there were no guarantees for him to start.
- Looking ahead, Tulane’s Top 20 streak offers a backdrop for Retzlaff to help sustain its recent success after logging 32 wins and a conference title.
