Impact At the beginning of Utah's 2024 season, Wilson was far down the Utes' depth chart at quarterback. However, a litany of injuries got him enough opportunities to log at least 1,500 passing yards and 10 touchdowns this year. By entering the transfer portal and despite his turnover problem then, Wilson is trying to bank on other colleges' football programs giving him a better chance for development.

Appears to be done with injury Wilson appears to be done for Utah's game Saturday against Iowa State because of an undisclosed injury, Josh Furlong of KSL News Salt Lake City reports.

Impact Wilson went down with an injury, followed by him switching out his comms system with fellow Utah quarterback Luke Bottari. At least temporarily, the former is another victim at Utah's quarterback position, which has three season-ending injuries to go with what could be a tame but seemingly serious injury from Saturday.

Taking first-team reps in warmups Wilson (illness) is in uniform for warmups and taking first-team reps ahead of Saturday's game versus Colorado, Josh Furlong of KSL News Salt Lake City reports.

Impact Speculation arose Friday that Wilson wouldn't be able to play Saturday due to illness, but all indications are that the true freshman will be able to give it a go. Wilson enters the day having completed 98 of 177 pass attempts for 1,200 yards and an 8:8 TD:INT ratio through seven appearances.

On field for early warmups Wilson (illness) is partaking in early stretching before the game, Josh Furlong of KSL News Salt Lake City reports.

Impact Wilson has reportedly been battling an illness throughout the week, but Furlong notes he is expected to start if he's feeling healthy enough to give it a go. More clarification on his status should surface when the team takes the field in uniform later during warmups, but it's certainly a good sign that he's out there, given the reason behind his potential absence.

Status for Saturday uncertain Wilson's status for Utah's clash with Colorado is in question as the quarterback is dealing with an illness, Scott Garrard of KSL Sports Zone reports

Impact Wilson didn't play in the Holy War last week against BYU, and the quarterback may not be available for the second straight week. Nothing is certain yet, but now there's a serious chance Wilson can't play and Luke Bottari might get the start. This would of course be a brutal twist of fate for a Utah team that's already lost three quarterbacks for the season.

Not expected to start Wilson is not taking first-team reps during warmups ahead of Saturday's game against BYU, Josh Furlong of KSL News Salt Lake City reports.

Impact Wilson has ceded first-team warmup reps to expected starter Brandon Rose as the Utes prepare to host BYU. The freshman quarterback has seen mixed on-field results in the wake of Cameron Rising's season-ending injury, throwing for 1,200 yards (98-of-177), eight touchdowns and eight interceptions. It appears the Utes are prepping to start Rose under center this week, but the two may split reps, especially if Rose were to struggle.
