The BYU football team just lost QB Jake Retzlaff, and that changes the outlook on the 2025 season dramatically.

With Makhi Hughes out the door after two years as the top running back, the Green Wave will have to break in a new top rusher, or rushers, potentially. Retzlaff can be added to that mix and help take some of the heat off the run game, especially early in the season.
