Cam Rising was shut down for the season recently as he’s been rehabbing his knee injury. But that didn’t stop him from taking part in the festivities in the run-up to No. 13 Utah’s matchup Saturday against the No. 8 Oregon Ducks.

Rising appeared on The Pat McAfee Show on Friday at the University of Utah in front of a crowd of fans watching a live taping. During his appearance, the star quarterback revealed the helmet the Utes will wear against the Ducks.

The helmets are hand-painted and honor the school’s student section, the MUSS (Mighty Utah Student Section). The team’s official X account revealed detailed photos of them moments after Rising’s reveal.

Some fans praised the look of the helmets online.

But others didn’t hide their disdain.
