Utah's Rising out for season, Wilson named starter

SALT LAKE CITY —

Utah released a statement from Whittingham on Monday evening confirming that Rising will miss the remainder of the 2024 season.

“During his time at Utah, Cam has been both a great player and leader for our program, and he will obviously be missed,” Whittingham said in the statement. “Any future developments concerning his collegiate eligibility will be addressed at a later date.”

Wilson, the younger brother of Denver Broncos quarterback Zach Wilson, filled in for Rising during his earlier absence. He posted a 2-1 record as a starter while throwing for 726 yards and five touchdowns with five interceptions.

“We feel like the quarterback position is stable. We just don’t have Cam,” Whittingham said at his weekly news conference Monday.

Whittingham also said an eighth season for Rising may be considered if he decides to seek a medical waiver after this season.
