Utah’s Cam Rising is back from injury and playing 'as well as he ever has,' Utes coach Kyle Whittingham says.
Utah’s seventh-year quarterback will make his official return to the field on Thursday after a near two-year hiatus due to a knee injury.
He says he’s excited to get back on the field and has been incredibly impressed with Utah’s depth at wide receiver:Heading into No. 12 Utah’s matchup vs. Southern Utah on Thursday in Salt Lake City, Rising will take the field for the first time in nearly two years.“I’m excited to get back on the field,” Rising said Monday. “Honestly to just taking that first snap and the first time saying ‘set go’ and getting the ball.
Keeping the seventh-year quarterback upright is a priority because with Rising the Utes have a clear shot at winning the Big 12 championship, which would earn them a bid into the 12-team College Football Playoff. With Rising’s return, Utah added a bevy of talent in the passing game through the transfer portal this season.
As Rising approaches the final season of his Utah career, there’s only one thing he’s focused on. Sure he’s excited about the depth, the chance to win the Big 12 or even making the College Football Playoff.“I’m excited,” Rising said. “I’m just chomping at the bit to get out there.”
