Utah football is without starting quarterback Cam Rising for its difficult road matchup with No. 15 Oklahoma State on Saturday, and is replacing the seventh-year senior with a familiar name.
The No. 12 Utes are starting true freshman Isaac Wilson, the little brother of Zach Wilson, the No. 2 overall pick of the 2021 NFL Draft out of BYU and current Denver Broncos backup.

Wilson, making his second start in relief of Rising, completed 20 of 33 passes for 239 yards with four touchdowns last weekend against Utah State. He was also the first true freshman in program history to throw three touchdowns in his first start.
Wilson was a blue-chip prospect out of high school, tabbed as the No. 280 player nationally and No. 18 quarterback, according to 247Sports' Composite rankings. The four-star prospect attended Corner Canyon High School in Draper, Utah.
The 6-foot signal caller breaks up the battle of seventh-year quarterbacks, as Rising was set to face Cowboys quarterback Alan Bowman, who is also in his seventh season of college football. Rising warmed up pregame, but was deemed unable to play.
Is Isaac Wilson related to Zach Wilson?
Yes, Utah quarterback Isaac Wilson is the younger brother of former New York Jets No. 2 overall pick Zach Wilson, who was traded to the Denver Broncos over the offseason.
Wilson attended BYU and was the second quarterback taken in the 2021 NFL Draft after the Jaguars' Trevor Lawrence.
