  07/28/22 - Cole Bishop, Jr/2024, Utah, 6-2, 206 (DS#3 FS) + More +

  2022 PRESEASON JIM THORPE AWARD WATCHLIST: Cole Bishop, Utah, So.,...In 2020, Bishop should have still been in high school, but as an early enrollee at Utah he became the starting strong safety by the team's ninth game, against Stanford. Now, going into his sophomore year, he is a team leader and on the Thorpe watch list. Last season Bishop recorded 35 tackles, including three sacks, five pass deflections and a fumble recovery. He also blocked a punt against Oregon. "Getting to be here for a year really helped me experience-wise," Bishop said. "Instead of running around and trying to figure out where you're really going the whole time, you know where you're going already and you're able to just worry about your job more." - Deseret.com

  07/22/22 - Cameron Rising, rSr/2025, Utah, 6-2, 220 (DS#28 QB) + More +

  University of Utah quarterback Cam Rising showed what he could do last season after transferring from Texas and being forced to sit out a year. The results were more than impressive: After taking over as the Utes' starting QB midway through the team's third game, Rising threw for 2,493 yards, 20 touchdowns and five interceptions, while adding 499 rushing yards and six more touchdowns. He put up a QBR rating of 84.2, per ESPN's metrics, which ranked sixth nationally and is the best among Pac-12 quarterbacks returning this season.

He also led the Utes to their first Pac-12 championship and Rose Bowl appearance. Could Utah's Cam Rising be a first-round NFL draft pick next year? That kind of production has the junior signal-caller getting national attention, including being named to the Maxwell and Davey O'Brien Award watch lists this week. Some, like ESPN's Mel Kiper Jr. earlier this offseason, believe that 2022 could be the year Rising rises to the occasion and makes himself one of the top NFL quarterback prospects next spring. - Deseret News

Ranked fourth in total offensive TDs (18), third in passing yards per game (214.1), third in passing efficiency (145.74) and second in passing yards per completion (12.76) in Pac-12 games only. Redshirted at Texas in 2018, redshirted at Utah in 2019 and had season-ending injury after one start in 2020. So he needed to show something in 2021 and he did. - Utah Football

  06/28/22 - Cameron Rising, rSr/2025, Utah, 6-2, 220 (DS#28 QB) + More +

  This weekend, Utah quarterback Cam Rising has been participating in the Manning Passing Academy, a high school football camp in Thibodaux, La. founded by former NFL quarterback Archie Manning. Manning's sons, former NFL quarterbacks Peyton Manning and Eli Manning, are also on hand during during the camp. Rising has been a coach during the camp, and participated in competition with the other college quarterback coaches on Friday such as Alabama's Bryce Young.

"The quarterbacks threw 10-yard hooks, 18-yard comebacks, 18-yard digs and a deep ball to receivers. The scored portion of the throwing session was a target competition where the quarterbacks threw at moving golf carts. Each turn included two crossing routes and a vertical throw down the sideline," per On3's Charles Power. Power named the top standouts from the event, and Rising was on the list. "Cameron Rising was among the more relaxed passers in the Manning Passing Academy's high-energy setting. (Rising) didn't press and made some nice throws on the night, highlighted by a well-thrown comeback. Rising's emergence in 2021 helped lead Utah to the Rose Bowl," Power wrote. - Deseret News

  06/27/22 - Mohamoud Diabate, Sr/2023, Utah, 6-4, 225 (DS#11 ILB) + More +

  The first, and only, meeting between Utah and Florida in football happened 45 years ago. That day, on Nov. 19, 1977, the Gators defeated the Utes in their homecoming game 38-29. Utah finished the season with a 3-8 record. When the two programs collide again on Sept. 3 at "The Swamp" in Gainesville, it will be televised by ESPN and the Utes should be ranked in the national polls. No doubt, times have changed. "It's evident when you put the tape on, this team's got height, length, speed. They're tough. They play with effort. They've got a reputation and a brand that they play to. So, we've got a ton of respect for Utah. - Florida coach Billy Napier on the Utes And Utah is looking forward to this kind of test to kick off the season. The Utes are the defending Pac-12 champions and lost a heartbreaker in the Rose Bowl to Ohio State last New Year's Day.

Of course, this season opener will be a homecoming for Ute linebacker Mohamoud Diabate, who spent the previous three seasons with the Gators before transferring to Utah. "It brings emotion because those are the guys you grew up with and you had more workouts with those guys. Those are some of my closest friends. But at the end of the day, I want to destroy them," he said. "When I step on the field, they know how I am. You're my enemy now. "At the end of the day, all that stuff that we've been through, all those times we were together, that goes out the window. I'm trying to do my job and I know it's going to be the same on their end. It will come down to who prepares the best and who's ready." - Deseret News

  Fresh off its first Pac-12 championship and Rose Bowl appearance, Utah is looking to repeat in 2022 and finds itself ranked in the top 10 in several preseason polls. Some project the Utes as a contender for the College Football Playoff. "We're the champions coming back. We're not going to sneak up on anybody," said coach Kyle Whittingham. "There's a lot of good teams in the (Pac-12) South. We've just got to go about our business like we usually do. We don't have that under-the-radar feel to us this year." The Utes say they are ready for everybody's best this fall.

"It's understanding that we are the team with a target on our back. Everybody is going to be coming for us. We're no longer that underdog team where they just overlook us," said Utes wide receiver Devaughn Vele. "Now we're one of those powerhouses and when they think of the Pac-12, they think of Utah, not just USC or Oregon or Washington. "It's just understanding that role and being able to step into that spotlight and not shying away from it. It's keeping that confidence and understanding what we need to do and still maintaining the same energy that we had last year." Most of Utah's offense returns, highlighted by quarterback Cam Rising, running back Tavion Thomas and tight ends Brant Kuithe and Dalton Kincaid. - Deseret News

  06/11/22 - Tavion Thomas, rJr/2023, Utah, 6-0, 237 (DS#25 RB) + More +

  Tavion Thomas emerged as the lead back for Utah football during the 2021 season, helping the Utes finish strong on what turned out to be a top 15 team that earned the program's first Rose Bowl appearance. While Thomas finished the season with 1,108 rushing yards and 21 rushing touchdowns - third-most in the country - his performance once the calendar flipped to October really displayed what the 6-foot-2, 238-pounder brings to the field. Over the Utes' final nine games last season, Thomas scored 19 touchdowns - at least one per game, with back-to-back four-touchdown games. During that stretch, he also averaged 20.3 carries and 108.2 rushing yards per game, with a 5.3 per-carry average. Now, the junior back is earning recognition as one of the nation's top running backs. - Deseret News

  Entering the 2022 season, Rising isn't going to sneak up on anybody. Opposing teams have a year's worth of film on him. Everybody knows who he is. Rising is being mentioned as someone that deserves a spot on Heisman Watch lists. A lot should be expected of Rising as he enters the season as the undisputed starter, according to Scott Mitchell. "Cam Rising right now should be considered a Heisman Trophy candidate," he said. "That's my expectation."

But Mitchell's expectations don't end there. "The expectation is that Utah ends up in the College Football Playoff. I think that's what they think, too. I think Cam Rising thinks that. That expectation is, this isn't bigger than us," he said. "With the type of talent they have coming back, across the board (that should be the expectation). "But also the maturity and the experience and the culture that's at Utah right now. This is a team and a program that's really right at that place, that place of winning the conference championship was amazing; the Rose Bowl was incredible, but we can do more. That's what more is." Utah has an ideal opportunity to prove itself on a national stage with a season opener at Florida, on national television. - Deseret News
