SALT LAKE CITY – Utah Football coach Kyle Whittingham announced Isaac Wilson will be the team’s starting quarterback until further notice and Cam Rising is out indefinitely.
The news came in Whittingham’s Monday morning press conference, following the team’s loss to Arizona State in Tempe.
“Tough weekend in Tempe. Cam Rising is out indefinitely, Isaac Wilson will be our starter until further notice,” Whittingham said.

Utah struggled to get anything going on offense against the Sun Devils, eventually falling by a score of 27-19.
“Cam’s a warrior, he wanted to play. We started moving the ball at the end of the half. Didn’t get into the end zone,” Whittingham continued. “That continued in the second half. We thought about it, talked about it, but he’s a vet and he’d let us know if he couldn’t go.”
Rising has dealt with injury for much of his college football career. He missed the entirety of last season due to a knee injury.
This season, he injured his throwing hand in the team’s game against the Baylor Bears.

In Friday’s matchup against Arizona State, it seemed Rising was pretty beat up, with a possible lower leg injury. Whittingham did not provide details on which injury (or injuries) led to the decision to name Wilson as the team’s starter.
Wilson started two games for the Utes this season, after being named QB2 before the beginning of the season. He started against Utah State and Oklahoma State.
The team won both games, taking Utah State down, 38-21 and beating the Cowboys, 22-19.
Over the weekend, Utah fell out of the AP 25.
