Wisconsin Badgers name Tyler Van Dyke starting QB

Tyler Van Dyke will mark a new starter for the Badgers for the second year in a row.

The Wisconsin Badgers have officially named transfer quarterback Tyler Van Dyke as the starter. This was reported by On3’s Griffin McVeigh on Wednesday.

Van Dyke came to the program in December, after four seasons with the Miami Hurricanes. He struggled a bit in the 2023 campaign, throwing for 1,884 yards, 16 touchdowns, and eight interceptions. His 161.5 quarterback rating was the highest of his collegiate career.

Van Dyke’s best season with Miami came in 2021. He threw for 2,931 yards, 25 touchdowns, and six interceptions. In four years at Miami, he tallied 6.659 passing yards, 51 touchdowns, and nine interceptions.

Nebraska football will face Wisconsin in the later part of the season on November 23. They will get their first-ever look at Van Dyke. He should be able to bring a strong arm and sound decision-making to the table. Nebraska lost to Wisconsin by a 24-17 margin in overtime in 2023.

Van Dyke will undoubtedly bring a new element to the Badgers offense, as they look to build off a 7-5 season last year.
