Jake Retzlaff (Jake Retzlaff) blew me away with this answer about adjusting from life in SoCal to life in Provo and being the first Jewish starting QB in program history.

@jretz11 What a mature response. What a good kid. Very happy to cheer for him as BYU's quarterback. Religions that show mutual respect end up learning the values are similar. And we can support each other in our differences. I love this from Jake. Even more proud.

Re: LDS attitude towards Jews, this scripture pretty much sums it up with the Savior speaking directly to the eventual latter-day readers of the Book of Mormon in 3 Nephi 29:8: "Yea, and ye need not any longer hiss, nor spurn, nor make game of the Jews, nor any of the remnant of the house of Israel; for behold, the Lord remembereth his covenant unto them, and he will do unto them according to that which he hath sworn."

@jretz11 I am an ASU fan but I love watching him play and root for him to play well. It's a great story. BYJew

@CriddleBenjamin @jretz11 First of all, great respectful question from @jimrome. And @jretz11 gave such a mature and insightful response. We are lucky to have him! Go Cougs!

@jretz11 BYU is a great place for good people of all religious backgrounds

@jretz11 We invite anyone that wants to focus on developing their skills without distractions. It is our honor to host people from different faiths and beliefs, and make them part of our family. Jake is now ours for life!

@jretz11 "No distractions, just focus on football"

@jretz11 This young man is a role model and I am so impressed by his faith. I love his attitude, his grit, and how he approaches his craft. It has been even more impressive to watch him rise above any negativity of the past. Go Cougs!!!

@jretz11 Shout out to Rome for stating the full name of the Church, not leaving out Jesus Christ as the majority of sportscasters do when mentioning the Church. Go Cougs!!!

@jretz11 “Letting God lead your life is a good way to live” love that quote from Jake! Go Cougs! #godislove
