Here are 3 must-watch storylines that could define BYU’s 2025 fall season:
🏈 1. Quarterback battle after Jake Retzlaff’s departure
- Jake Retzlaff has officially withdrawn from BYU amid honor-code suspension and plans to transfer .
- With him gone, the race to succeed him features McCae Hillstead, Bear Bachmeier (a Stanford transfer and true freshman), and Treyson Bourguet. BYU coach Kalani Sitake emphasizes opening the position based on merit, not legacy .
- This contest isn’t just about stats—it’s about leadership, rhythm, and executing in the Big 12. Who wins could define the offense’s ceiling.
