The Utes quarterback looks to change his approach this year
Cam Rising is undoubtedly the starting quarterback going into the 2024 season for the Utah Utes. However, the seventh-year leader is facing a crucial decision this 18 days before taking on Southern Utah —whether or not to wear a knee brace after his recovery from knee surgery.
As he prepares for the Utes’ first season in the Big 12, Rising remains undecided on the matter. “I’m not sure,” he told theRising’s health is pivotal to the Utes’ success, especially after the offense struggled without him in 2023, finishing 11th in the Pac-12 in passing yards. The Utes are determined to protect their QB1 at all costs. This offseason, Rising has focused on quickening his release and learning how to avoid unnecessary hits.
In fall camp, Rising has been testing his knee with various cuts and zone reads, preparing for what could be a pass-heavy offense. With a largely unproven running back group, the Utes may rely more on Rising’s throwing capabilities this season. To bolster the offense, head coach Kyle Whittingham has added several wide receivers through the transfer portal, increasing competition and depth in the receiving corps.
As Rising puts it, “Competition makes everybody much better,” and this added depth could be crucial for Utah’s success in the upcoming season.
