Jake Retzlaff could become the first Jewish quarterback in the modern era of Tulane football if he wins the starting job after transferring from Brigham Young.

Retzlaff made the decision to withdraw from BYU after facing a seven-game suspension related to a violation of the school's honor code. That suspension stemmed from allegations of sexual assault, which were later dismissed in a civil lawsuit, and BYU's strict policy prohibiting premarital sex, a rule Retzlaff admitted to violating.
