Sources announced Eli Lederman from ESPN that Rising had accepted an offensive coordinator role at Newbury Park (California) High School, where he was a three-year starter from 2015 to 17 and left as a four-star recruit in the 2018 class. He will train the four-star Michigan QB promise Brady Smigiel, who will be 45th in the ESPN 300 in 45 next autumn.

Rising played in 30 games for the utes and made 28 starts. He led Utah to PAC-12 championships in 2021 and 2022 and was an All-Pac-12 selection of the first team in 2021.

After 2022 he played in just three games and missed a knee injury throughout 2023. He was removed from the squad of Utes after last season.

Rising, who started his college career in Texas in 2018, had remained one year of justification in 2020 due to the redshirt season, the Covid 19 waiver in 2020.
