Utes QB returns for seventh season after missing 2023 due to injury

University of Utah Football quarterback Cam Rising has been named to the 2024 Maxwell Award Preseason Watch List, per an announcement on Monday. Rising was among 80 players across the FBS to receive this honor, with the Big 12 contributing 15 players to the list. The Maxwell Award has been annually awarded to the most outstanding player in college football for the past 88 years.

Rising was a semifinalist for the Maxwell and Davey O'Brien Awards in 2022, following his All-Pac-12 selection and MVP recognition in the Pac-12 title game. A two-time all-conference selection, Rising earned first-team honors in 2021 and holds an 18-6 overall win record as a starter, tying him for fifth all-time in Utah history.

The Utes are highly anticipated in their inaugural Big 12 season, with media placing them at No. 1 in the preseason conference poll. Coach Whittingham’s confidence is bolstered by Rising’s return, who missed the 2023 season due to knee surgery. Rising's leadership and skills, demonstrated by leading Utah to consecutive Pac-12 titles, are expected to elevate Utah’s offense. With 5,572 passing yards and 46 touchdowns in his career, his presence is crucial.

A native of Ventura, Calif., Rising enters the 2024 season with 15 career games with 200+ passing yards, including two 300-yard games and one 400-yard game. Over 27 career games , he ranks in the top-10 all-time at Utah in career completions , touchdown passes , and passing yards .
