BYU coach Kalani Sitake is not directly addressing the status of Jake Retzlaff amid reports that the quarterback is transferring after being accused of sexual assault in a civil lawsuit that was dismissed.

We love Jake Retzlaff,' the BYU football coach said Tuesday, but did not acknowledge that the senior is leaving the program.

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.
