Overview

  • Jake Retzlaff verbally committed to Tulane on July 21 and is expected to join fall camp soon as a walk-on quarterback.
  • Tulane’s Title IX office and compliance staff spent over a week conducting background checks before granting him clearance to enroll.
  • Retzlaff withdrew from BYU on July 11 to avoid a planned seven-game Honor Code suspension after admitting to premarital sex and following the dismissal of a rape lawsuit.
  • Because he left BYU after the NCAA transfer portal closed and is in his fifth and final season, he had to withdraw from school rather than transfer conventionally.
  • He will compete for the starting role in a crowded quarterback room under coach Jon Sumrall, who first recruited him during his tenure at Troy.
