The Wisconsin Badgers football team is less than a week away from their regular season opener Aug. 30 at home versus Western Michigan and they’ll have a new starting quarterback in 2024, handing the reins to transfer Tyler Van Dyke.
Dalton Wasserman of Pro Football Focus College ranked the quarterbacks in the Big Ten, releasing his list on X. He considers Van Dyke to be the No. 3 overall QB in the conference.
Fellow transfer Dillon Gabriel (formerly with Oklahoma) and Penn State sophomore Drew Allar are the only two players considered to be better at the position by Wasserman.
Van Dyke transferred to Wisconsin in the offseason after four seasons at Miami, including an impressive 2021 campaign in which he compiled 2,931 passing yards and 25 touchdown passes while throwing six interceptions with the Hurricanes.
The Badgers will square off with both Gabriel and Allar in 2024, as well as Riley Moss (USC, No. 4) and Hudson Card (Purdue, No. 8) of the quarterbacks considered to be in the top half of the rankings.
