Utah quarterback Cam Rising is already getting set to return for a seventh college season after recovery from a knee injury that cost him all of the 2023 season.
Just when you thought this would be his final year, it appears we will be seeing Rising for another year after the 2024 season has concluded.
Utah quarterback Cam Rising, who has been in college since 2018, has the opportunity to earn one more year of eligibility after the NCAA settled its antitrust lawsuit. The NCAA gave players who sat out a season in 2019 or later the chance to come back next season.
Cam Rising has only played three college seasons despite being in his seventh year.
In 2021 and 2022, Rising guided the Utes to back-to-back Pac-12 championships, but in January, he sustained a severe knee injury in the Rose Bowl, via Utahutes.com. Utah had hoped that Rising would be able to play again in 2023, but he was ultimately declared out for the season in late October.

The Utes were still competitive without him, but they have recently struggled against a challenging Pac-12 schedule. Utah dropped out of the AP Top 25 for the first time since 2021 after losing three of its last four games, all against teams that were ranked.
Utah moves from the Pac-12 to the Big 12 this season.
Cam Rising Looking To Lead Utah To A Big 12 Title As They Move On From The Pac-12
Rising is already in his seventh season of college eligibility after redshirting at Texas in 2018, transferring to Utah, and sitting out in 2019.
Part of the reason Rising opted to play in 2024 was because of an injury that kept him out of the entire 2023 season. He took a medical redshirt.
He led Utah to two Pac-12 titles over the past two seasons and will now look to lead Utah to its first-ever Big 12 title, as last year was the program’s final season in the Pac-12.
