Miami quarterback Tyler Van Dyke was getting first-round hype from prominent names like Mel Kiper, Jr. just twelve months ago. After a relatively benign 2022 season, with 10 passing touchdowns and five interceptions in seven full games, his name plummeted down boards behind rising ACC stars like Drake Maye and Jordan Travis.
In the first four games of 2023, Van Dyke has already surpassed his 2022 touchdown total with 11, he’s completing 74.7% of his passes for 10.5 yards per attempt, and he hasn’t thrown. an interception since Week 1. The Hurricanes boast one of the best offenses in the nation, within the top 10 in both total offense and scoring offense.
Can anyone catch Van Dyke as the conference’s top passer? Here’s how the ACC starters stack up, according to QBR.
