Manischewitz to sponsor first Jewish BYU quarterback in program history

Brigham Young University quarterback Jake Retzlaff, the first Jewish quarterback in program history, has signed an NIL (Name, Image and Likeness) sponsorship with the kosher food company Manischewitz, it announced Thursday. 

Retzlaff, who has adopted the nickname “BYJew,” is one of only three Jewish students at the Latter-day Saints university. 

A junior who was named the starter before the season, Retzlaff has led the Cougars to a 10-2 record and a No. 18 ranking in the country. He has thrown for 2,796 yards, 20 touchdowns and 10 interceptions. 

Manischewitz, which was founded in 1888, makes kosher products, including matzo, macaroons and wine. 

Retzlaff said the iconic Jewish brand “has always been part of my life.”

“I grew up with matzo with peanut butter as my favorite snack, and every Passover, my family and I made matzo pizza together,” he said in a news release. “At Chanukah time our tradition was making potato latkes. Now, at BYU, I’m able to share these traditions with my teammates. This partnership is about more than football — it’s about creating connections and celebrating Jewish pride in ways I never expected.”

In a viral video announcing the partnership, Retzlaff does football drills with a box of matzo. 

Manischewitz said it will produce limited-edition Jake Retzlaff Matzo Boxes to “celebrate the intersection of athletic achievement and cultural heritage.” Retzlaff will also share his story and connection to Manischewitz in video content on social media.

“We are so proud to welcome Jake officially into the Manischewitz family this holiday season,” said Shani Seidman, chief marketing officer of Kayco, the parent company of Manischewitz. “He is such an inspiration, and we are honored to support his exciting football career and dream. This partnership represents everything the brand aspires to be—celebrating our heritage and bringing awareness to Jewish food and excellence.”
