OT-ish: Cam Rising medically retires

[95coug]

Due to multiple injuries, Rising is hanging it up and going back to his high schools to be coach.

He’s a great example of how the redshirt rules have changed. He has a year of eligibility left and could play at Utah in 2025. He was originally in the QB class of 2018 - the same class that Trevor Lawrence, Justin Fields, and Brock Purdy were in. They’re out of their rookie deals or close to it…and he’s not even out of college yet. Used to be tough to get one medical redshirt. He’s had at least 3.

Yeah, he’s 26

Sucks but glad he made the right decision for his health. Not sure he had the tools to excel at the next level anyway, but I'm sure that when you're a starter in college the NFL always seems like the logical next step.

Now if someone could convince Tua to retire before he widows his wife and provides the NFL with their first on-field death, that would be great.

Wonder if he had one of those insurance policies....
