Jake Retzlaff reportedly commits to Tulane after withdrawing from BYU due to honor-code violation

Former BYU quarterback Jake Retzlaff has found a new home. Retzlaff reportedly committed to Tulane, and is expected to enroll as a walk-on, according to Pete Thamel of ESPN. After starting with BYU last season, Retzlaff will compete for the starting job at Tulane. Retzlaff, who spent two years with the Cougars, officially withdrew from BYU in July after a violation of the honor code threatened his season. The redshirt senior, who was in trouble with the school for engaging in premarital sex, had reportedly been looking to transfer schools as a result. In a statement posted to social media, Retzlaff disclosed his decision to withdraw, calling BYU "a place of growth." "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 wrote. "I'm excited to turn the page and embrace the next chapter." By withdrawing from BYU directly, Retzlaff did not have to enter the transfer portal in order to land with a new program. In a lawsuit filed in May, Retzlaff was accused of sexually assaulting a woman in 2023. The lawsuit was eventually dismissed last month after a joint motion from the attorneys of Retzlaff and his accuser. However, Retzlaff, who said that the sex was consensual in his court filing, was still in violation of BYU's honor code, which prohibits premarital sex. As a result, Retzlaff was reportedly facing a seven-game suspension from the school — prompting his decision to transfer. Retzlaff joined BYU in 2023 after playing for two years at the community college level. He became BYU's starting quarterback in 2024, leading the team to a 11-2 season and an Alamo Bowl victory over Colorado. Retzlaff threw for 2,947 yards and 20 touchdowns this season, completing 57.9 percent of his passes.

Gillies 'hopeful' of Rangers head coach appointment before season start

Rangers are "in the final stages of a great recruitment process" as they look to appoint a new head coach "in the next couple of weeks, if not sooner", confirms managing director Donald Gillies. Former England international Jo Potter departed Rangers four weeks ago after winning four cup trophies in two years at the club. "It has been going really well," Gillies told RangersTV. "The quality of the candidate has been excellent, really strong. "Probably a mark of the time that we have taken actually to get to the point that we are at right now. "I think for us it is about finding the right qualities in all those excellent candidates and resumes that we received and applying them from the context that we have. "We are in the final stages of that process and will be able to confirm what we are going to do, hopefully in the next couple of weeks if not sooner. "It has been a great process and it has really said a huge amount about where we are at as a women's club and really the strides that the women's game has made in Scotland that we are attracting some really highly qualified and impressive people." Rangers will take part in their first pre-season friendly next week and kick off their SWPL campaign on 17 August against Montrose. Gillies is hopeful of having a decision made by that point, but he will not rush the process. "Have someone in place for first pre-season game? Yes, that would be the hope but we are not held to it," he added. "That shouldn't go beyond the priority of making sure we get the right person."
