is Jewish and not a sports fan at all knew all about Jake Retzlaff starting for BYU. He doesn’t live in Utah or have any association with it.
There just aren’t a lot of high-profile Jewish athletes out there. It’s like how we take pride in guys like Steve Young, Andy Reid, Fred Warner, Bryce Harper, KVN, etc. Just maybe more magnified on Jake because there aren’t as many famous Jewish sports figures.
