Cam Rising Leaves Utah Amid Injury Challenges

Cam Rising, the longtime Utah Utes quarterback, is no longer on the team's roster, signaling his potential departure from the program. Over his tenure, Rising led Utah to back-to-back Pac-12 championships in 2021 and 2022 and was instrumental in key victories against teams like USC and Oregon. Despite his achievements, Rising's recent seasons were marred by significant injuries, including a severe knee injury in the 2023 Rose Bowl and a hand injury in 2024. Utah's disappointing 2024 season ended with a 5-7 record, partly due to Rising's absence. Rising, who has battled injuries throughout his career, has not publicly disclosed his future plans, whether it involves transferring or entering the NFL Draft. With the addition of quarterback Devon Dampier and new offensive coordinator Jason Beck, Utah is preparing for a new chapter without Rising.
