This move by Retzlaff, who is entering his fifth and final year of eligibility in NCAA, comes after a formal withdrawal from the school on July 11. He left the university and football program due to the team’s plan to suspend him seven games for breaking the school’s honor code. 

"After a lot of prayers, reflection and conversations with those I trust, I’ve made the difficult decision to officially withdraw from BYU and the BYU football program," Retzlaff posted on Instagram.

"BYU has meant more to me that just football. It’s been a place of growth — spiritually, mentally and physically. I’m grateful for every teammate, coach, staff member and fan who’s supported me along the way."
