Provo police responded Wednesday night to a lawsuit accusing Brigham Young University quarterback Jake Retzlaff of rape, denying allegations from the plaintiff that the department encouraged her not to pursue charges.

Local attorney Robb Jones explained why the Jake Retzlaff case was pursued as a civil lawsuit rather than a criminal complaint.

Because, the officer allegedly said, “sexual assault victims never get justice.” The alleged attacker in this case is Jake Retzlaff, BYU’s national standout quarterback, a fact that brings much more attention to this case. He has not been criminally ...

A Susquehanna Valley High School teacher has the unique opportunity to attend the Midway Institute for Teachers in San Francisco this summer.

From a leadership standpoint, Retzlaff should probably rank higher on this list. He bucked the outside expectations last year — which included one outlet rating him the worst Big 12 quarterback in the league going into 2024 — and led BYU to an 11-2 record while coming oh-so-close to reaching the conference championship game.
