Brigham Young University quarterback Jake Retzlaff is facing mounting scrutiny after being named in a civil sexual assault lawsuit, leaving his athletic future in jeopardy. The suit, recently filed in a Utah court, accuses Retzlaff of misconduct related to an alleged off-campus incident. While the claims are currently part of a civil case and no criminal charges have been filed, the university has acknowledged the matter and is reviewing it under its student conduct and Title IX procedures. Sources familiar with the situation indicate Retzlaff may be suspended from team activities pending the outcome of the investigation. The quarterback, once seen as a rising leader in BYU’s program, now faces an uncertain future both on and off the field. Neither Retzlaff nor BYU has issued a detailed public statement regarding the allegations, but the case has sparked broader conversations around athlete accountability and institutional response.
