Former Utah QB Cam Rising announces 'medical retirement' from football

Utah’s field marshal, Cam Rising, is renouncing football, at least for the planned future, due to its struggle to recover from an injury in hand at the beginning of last season.

“Two orthopedic surgeons I advised Bone that I can never play football again,” Rising wrote in a publication on social networks on Wednesday in which he announced that “he will be forced to retire medically from the game I love.”

Rising added that he is looking for a third medical opinion and process with recommended surgery and rehabilitation, but did not stop to indicate that he anticipates a path to play again.

Rising played parts of four seasons in Utah between 2020 and 2024.

It went for 2,493 yards and 20 touchdowns in 2021 and followed it with 3,034 and 26 TouchDowns in a 2022 season that led the UTES in the Rose Bowl. But a knee injury in the rising bowl game for all 2023.

The return of the Native of Ventura, California, in 2024, shortened against Baylor was in the second game of the UTES season, when he was pushed through the lateral line when he launched a launch and ran into a hydration table, seems to give a finger to a cooler.
