Cam Rising Could Potentially Play Eighth Season for Utah Utes According to Proposed NCAA Settlement

Cam Rising has been the quarterback for the Utah Utes for seven seasons now, with the possibility of extending his college career to an eighth season in 2025.

A proposed settlement agreement between the NCAA and the United States Justice Department could grant Rising an additional year of eligibility due to the Transfer Eligibility Rule.

Having transferred to Utah from Texas in 2019 and redshirted that year, Rising, now 25, already benefited from an extra year of eligibility granted to all Division I athletes due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

The Justice Department's involvement in a lawsuit against the NCAA aimed to eliminate restrictions on college athlete transfers, ultimately benefiting players like Rising.

Rising's decision to play in 2024 was influenced by an injury that sidelined him for the entire 2023 season, leading to a medical redshirt.
