Utah sophomore quarterback Isaac Wilson will enter the transfer portal.

He posted the news on his Instagram page after telling On3’s Hayes Fawcett of his intention to enter January’s transfer portal.

The former Corner Canyon star was the Utes’ starter for much of the 2024 season after quarterback Cam Rising was injured for the majority of that year. Wilson started seven games for the Utes in his true freshman season, throwing for 1,510 yards and 10 touchdowns with 11 interceptions and a 56.4% completion rate.

Wilson was publicly named the backup quarterback by Kyle Whittingham in the fall ahead of the 2025 season, but freshman Byrd Ficklin rose to QB2 instead during the season. Wilson played just 12 snaps this year.

With Utah confident in keeping both starting quarterback Devon Dampier and Ficklin for next season, there isn’t a clear path to playing time for Wilson.

Wilson, a former four-star recruit, entered the transfer portal at the conclusion of the 2024 season, only to withdraw and return to Utah for the 2025 campaign.

Wilson is the third Ute to announce his intention to enter the transfer portal, which opens on Jan. 2.

Freshman cornerback Jaylen Moson and four-star freshman linebacker Christian Thatcher are the other two players that have announced their intentions to transfer when the portal opens.
