BYU is facing another battle for a starting quarterback. This comes after Kedon Slovis had one year with the Cougars. The one who can step up will need to not be here for a year but longer. As a Big 12 school, BYU can’t have a revolving door of the main leader of the offense.

Jake Retzlaff

Jake Retzlaff is a 6-1 205 lbs junior BYU quarterback from Corona, California. He has played in four games for the Cougars and has 63 completions for 648 yards and three touchdowns. Retzlaff should be the starter for the fight he showed Cougar Nation last fall when Slovis was injured and so was half the offense. He is ready for a full season with BYU as their starting quarterback and also ready to step up against the Big 12 defense.

Gerry Bohanon

Bohanon is a 6-3 225 lbs Senior quarterback from Earle, Arkansas. He is a transfer from South Florida and may or may not step foot on the field for the Cougars this season. Bohanon would be a great starter but that is no way to build an offense off of transfer quarterbacks who used to be able to play ball. He can be the backup and be there when Retzlaff needs help.

Cade Fennegan

Cade Fennegan is a 6-2 195 lbs junior quarterback from Dallas, Texas. He transferred from Boise State two seasons ago. Fennegan has played in one game as a Cougar and has zero passing stats. Fennegan is a great third-stringer or if he fights enough in fall camp beat out Bohanon for the second string.

Micah Fe’a

Fe’a is a 6-4 240 lbs freshman quarterback from Orem, Utah. He will probably in a year or two make the switch to wide receiver or tight end due to his size.

Noah Lugo

Noah Lugo is a 6-2 195 lbs freshman quarterback from Haslet, Texas. He has to bulk up a little bit before he suits up as a quarterback for BYU because of the size of the other team’s offensive lines.
