Season-ending injury sidelines Utah's quarterback Cameron Rising (leg)

Utah's starting quarterback, Cameron Rising, will be sidelined indefinitely due to a right leg injury, according to head coach Kyle Whittingham's confirmation on Monday.

The seventh-year senior sustained this latest injury during a tackle in the first quarter of Friday's 27-19 loss against Arizona State. Despite remaining in the game, Rising seemed to struggle with planting his right leg.

Rising, who is 25 years old, had just returned to the field after missing three games due to a hand injury suffered in a September 7th victory against Baylor.

In the game against Arizona State, Rising completed only 16 of 37 passes for 209 yards and had no touchdowns, but threw three interceptions. So far this season, he has completed 51.5% of his passes for 555 yards, with seven touchdowns and three interceptions in three games.

Before transferring to Utah in 2019, Rising was on the roster at Texas in 2018. He also missed the entire 2023 season due to a knee injury.

Freshman quarterback, Isaac Wilson, will be making his fourth start of the season when Utah (4-2, 1-2 Big 12) takes on TCU (3-3, 1-2) on Saturday night.

Wilson has appeared in five games this season, completing 55.7% of his passes for 830 yards, with six touchdowns and seven interceptions.
