Utah quarterback Cam Rising announced his medical retirement from football on Wednesday, but the story already has a silver lining. Rising has a job in football for the 2025 campaign and will be the offensive coordinator for his alma mater at Newbury Park High School in California. Rising will be coaching quarterback Brady Smigiel, who’s a four-star prospect in the 2026 class and a Michigan Wolverines commit.
“I literally couldn’t have a better scenario, having my role model my entire life growing up to be my offensive coordinator and quarterback coach,” Smigiel said.
Smigiel reportedly wears No.
