Cameron Rising hopes to follow Tyler Huntley as Utah’s starting quarterback in 2020, but if he does, it will mark his first opportunity to take the field for the Utes.
The NCAA has denied Rising’s request for a waiver that would have made him eligible to play this season as a transfer from Texas, Utah announced Monday. That news was offset by receiver Derrick Vickers’ being granted an extra year of eligibility, enabling him to play as a senior in 2019.
Rising joined the Utes in January as in essence the replacement for quarterback Jack Tuttle, who left the program last October and has transferred to Indiana.
