Former Utah QB Cam Rising retires from football due to hand injury

Cam Rising, a prominent Utah quarterback known for his five touchdown passes in a blowout victory over Southern Utah earlier this week, has announced his retirement from football after suffering a season-ending hand injury. Despite his remarkable college career, which included Pac-12 championships and 53 passing touchdowns, Rising is now focusing on coaching at Newbury Park High School, where he'll mentor Michigan-bound recruit Brady Smigiel. The decision to retire comes amid ongoing rehabilitation following the injury that required surgery.
