Is that what “rising” means?

I have no idea what it means.
A "rising talent" is someone on the way up.
A "rising voice in the industry", or something like that.

A "rising freshman" is a meaningless phrase.
One would think that they'd all rise or leave (eventually).

Considering that it's summertime, the "rising" should have already occured. You either stood out in your freshmen year, or you didn't.
