Cam Rising to Return for Seventh Season with Utah in 2024
Rising's Return Expected to Boost Utah's Prospects in Big 12 After Struggling 2023 Season
- Utah quarterback Cam Rising announced he will return for a seventh season of college football in 2024, after missing the entire 2023 season due to a knee injury.
- Rising led the Utes to consecutive Pac-12 titles in 2021 and 2022, but was ruled out for the 2023 season after suffering a severe knee injury in the Rose Bowl in January.
- Rising's return is expected to boost Utah's prospects as the team transitions from the Pac-12 to the Big 12 in 2024.
- Without Rising, Utah struggled in the 2023 season, losing three of its last four games and falling out of the AP Top 25 for the first time since 2021.
- Rising started his college career at Texas in 2018 and has only played more than four games twice, making him eligible for an additional season.
