Having transferred to Indiana in January, former Utah quarterback Jack Tuttle this week won his NCAA appeal to become eligible to play in 2019, without having to sit out during a year of residency.
What does that mean for current Ute quarterback Cameron Rising, formerly of Texas? Logically, Tuttle’s case should improve Rising’s chances, the variable being the basis of Tuttle’s appeal. Tuttle has not publicized his reasons for deserving a waiver; Rising has based his hopes on Utah’s offering a criminology major that Texas doesn’t have, and being closer to his home in California for the sake of family health issues.
