Former BYU quarterback Jake Retzlaff plans to transfer to Tulane, ESPN reported Monday.Retzlaff left BYU earlier this month rather than face a potential seven-game suspension for violating the school’s honor code.Per the ESPN report, Tulane did an extensive look into Retzlaff’s background before he made a verbal commitment to the school. He is expected on campus soon as a walk-on and will compete for the wide-open starting quarterback job.Retzlaff has been the subject of tabloid-like news since being accused of sexual assault in a civil lawsuit this spring.Retzlaff contended the sex was consensual. The suit was dismissed June 30 but Retzlaff still faced the suspension for violating the portion of the school’s honor code that prohibits premarital sex.”After a lot of prayer, reflection, and conversations with those I trust, I’ve made the difficult decision to officially withdraw from BYU and step away from the BYU Football program,” Retzlaff said on Instagram.”BYU has meant more to me than just football. It’s been a place of growth — spiritually, mentally and physically. I’m grateful for every teammate, coach, staff member and fan who’s supported me along the way. The relationships and memories I’ve made in Provo will always be a part of me.”Retzlaff has an existing relationship with Tulane coach Jon Sumrall, built along the recruiting trail through the years.
