BYU Looking to Fill Unexpected Hole at Quarterback
UTAH COUNTY, UTAH, AUG 4 – BYU coaches are evaluating McCae Hillstead, Treyson Bourguet, and Bear Bachmeier to replace Jake Retzlaff after his transfer created a key offensive vacancy.
- On Aug. 2, 2025, BYU opened fall camp in Provo amid an unexpected quarterback vacancy after Jake Retzlaff left in July, creating a major hole in the offense.
- Following the lawsuit’s dismissal, Jake Retzlaff transferred to Tulane University in July to avoid a potential suspension under BYU honor code.
- In first fall practice, coaches Kalani Sitake and Aaron Roderick split first-team reps evenly among McCae Hillstead, Treyson Bourguet, and Bear Bachmeier to evaluate their potential, aiming to name a starter soon.
- Despite the urgency, Kalani Sitake said “I know that we can wait until the first game, but we’d like to get it sorted out as soon as we can,” with no firm deadline before August 30, 2025.
- Looking ahead to the preseason poll release on Aug. 11, BYU's quarterback decision amid the hole will influence national expectations for a Big 12 title run.
