He ranked 16th in the NCAA in assists per game (2.27) in 2021, recording two-or-more assists in nine of Utah's 11 games. Bradbury dropped a career-high six assists in Utah's win over Westminster in addition to his career-best eight points (2 goals).

Cambere played in all 11 games in 2021, starting two, recording a team-high 14 caused turnovers along with six points (2 goals, 4 assists) and 52 ground balls. He has played in 32 career games as a Ute after coming to Salt Lake City from Flower Mound, Texas.

In 2021, Cambere scored the game winner against Westminster, adding five ground balls in addition to a season-high seven ground balls and two assists against Robert Morris.
