SALT LAKE CITY (AP) — Cam Rising is right on schedule in his comeback from a severe knee injury.
Rising led the offense for three series in Utah’s spring football game Saturday. The senior quarterback had a strong outing in his first live game since sitting out the entire 2023 season, throwing for 208 yards and two touchdowns while completing 15 of 19 passes.
He led the Red squad to a 41-21 victory over the White.
“Feeling strong,” Rising said. “(I have) been accruing a lot of reps and it’s good to be out there with the guys making plays and watching them go.”
Rising will give Utah valuable veteran leadership in the team’s Big 12 debut after leading the Utes to Pac-12 titles in 2021 and 2022.
Entering his sixth season with the Utes, Rising has a deep familiarity with offensive coordinator Andy Ludwig’s offense. He has 25 career starts at Utah and has accrued at least 200 passing yards in 15 games – including two 300-yard games and one 400-yard-performance.
