Since September 30th when Jake Heaps was pulled from the Utah State game and replaced by Riley Nelson there has been a lot of buzz about what Jake should do. Many of the local media around have suggested he transfer, even some have said he should transfer to Utah to play for Norm Chow and the Utes. All I can say is Hold your Horses, Jake is going nowhere and i will tell you why. When he came to BYU he held a press conference and told the world how great BYU was and how he was going to win a National Title. In that same moment he told us he was going to have some help and out walked Ross Apo who decommited from Texas to come play with Jake at BYU as well as Zac Stout a LB star from Cali. When they did that in my eyes Jake solidified his 4 (or more) year commitment to BYU and those 2 and if he left he would be lying to those 2 as well as everyone else he told about BYU. Also once he got to BYU he found his wife and to tell her as they are both going to school that she needs to pack her stuff and leave and transfer, i just don't see it being that easy. Now I'm not going to lie his Sophomore year has not been all that great and he has had to deal with some challenging and humbling things, but we as fans have to remember HE IS A TRUE SOPHOMORE. I hope Jake takes a look at his situation and realizes that if he leaves and transfers to another school, unless he drops down a division, he will have to sit out a season anyway so why not redshirt next year and keep that year of eligibility. Plus he would be the same year as Apo and BYU has good WR coming in the next few years. I truly thing Jakes best situation would be to stay at BYU and continue to grow and learn under Brandon Doman and gain his ultimate goal of Playing for a winning program and getting into the NFL.
