It was reported earlier this month that Rising was limited and three signal-callers were battling for the backup job. Bryson Barnes, Nate Johnson, and Brandon Rose have been splitting reps in Rising’s place, with Barnes currently in the lead according to head coach Kyle Wittingham.
The Utes will not want to rush their star QB back. In 2022 Rising had an impressive season, finishing with 3,034 passing yards, 26 TDs, and 8 INTs. Rising’s performance led to the Utes finishing with a 10-4 record and earning a Rose Bowl appearance.
