BYU training camp will include an unexpected quarterback competition after last year's starter, Jake Retzlaff, withdrew from the university and transferred to Tulane. As the Cougars began camp Wednesday, coach Kalani Sitake expressed support for Retzlaff and addressed the early stages of the position battle.

Retzlaff maintains that he loved playing for the Cougars, despite being one of very few Jews on BYU's predominantly Mormon campus in Provo, Utah.

"The Cougars still return their leading rusher, LJ Martin, and wide receiver Chase Roberts, who had over 850 yards and four touchdowns last year. BYU's defense was also one of the best in the country last year at snagging turnovers," the analyst noted. "The returning talent will help ease the transition of whoever replaces Retzlaff as the starter."
