Cam Rising’s career at Utah appears to be nearing its end, marking the conclusion of a transformative era for the Utes. A report by CBS Sports suggest Rising is unlikely to return for the 2025 season, leaving uncertainty about whether he will declare for the NFL Draft or apply for a medical hardship waiver to utilize another year of eligibility. His departure, while not yet official, signals a pivotal shift for Utah football, as the team navigates life without one of its most iconic quarterbacks.
Rising’s journey with Utah began in January 2019 when he transferred from Texas, bringing high expectations and a competitive edge. Over the next few years, he became a cornerstone of the program, renowned for his leadership, resilience, and ability to deliver in clutch moments. Rising’s breakout season in 2021 established him as one of college football’s premier quarterbacks. He led the Utes to a historic win over USC in the Coliseum, two dominant victories over Oregon — including in the Pac-12 Championship Game — and a memorable performance in the Rose Bowl against Ohio State, highlighted by a 62-yard touchdown run.
