Overview

  • He withdrew from BYU in early July after a civil lawsuit was dismissed and a looming seven-game Honor Code suspension prompted his transfer.
  • Tulane’s compliance and Title IX offices completed a vetting process this month and cleared him to enroll as a walk-on.
  • Retzlaff arrives as the most experienced passer in a room stocked with transfers and joins a roster that saw 51 percent turnover and 34 new arrivals.
  • His 2024 BYU season included 213 completions on 368 attempts for 2,947 yards, 20 touchdowns and 12 interceptions over 13 games.
  • Coach Jon Sumrall, who first recruited him at Troy in 2022, has emphasized that no player, including Retzlaff, has a guaranteed starting role.
