Wisconsin quarterback Tyler Van Dyke is entering the NCAA transfer portal, a source told ESPN’s Pete Thamel on Monday afternoon.

The fifth-year quarterback played in three games during his debut season with the Badgers this fall before suffering a season-ending injury on Sept. 14 against Alabama. Van Dyke, a three-year starter at Miami from 2021 to 2023, has 7,891 career passing yards and 55 career touchdown passes and will enter the transfer portal with one year of eligibility remaining.

Van Dyke’s departure from Wisconsin comes less than a year after he landed with the Badgers via the transfer portal last December. With 33 career games played, the 6-foot-1, 220-pound passer will be one of the most experienced quarterbacks in the 2024 portal cycle.

Van Dyke, who sat on the bench in his final season at Miami in 2023, came to Wisconsin last offseason and was named the Badgers’ starting quarterback on Aug. 14 after a camp competition with sophomore Braden Locke. Van Dyke completed 43 of 68 passes for 422 yards and a touchdown in three starts to open the 2024 season, but was sidelined for the remainder of the season after injuring his knee in the opener of Wisconsin’s 42-10 loss to Alabama in 2019 contracted week 3.

Locke started the Badgers’ final nine regular-season games with 1,936 total yards with 13 touchdowns and 10 interceptions, but the Wisconsin offense remained stagnant until the end, eventually ranking 12th in scoring among Big Ten offenses (22, 6 points per game). The Badgers were ranked 97th nationally in scoring and 102nd in passing offense when the program fired offensive coordinator Phil Longo on Nov. 17, a day after a 16-13 home loss to No. 1 Oregon.

With Van Dyke’s departure, Wisconsin’s quarterbacks include Locke and freshman passer Mabrey Mettauer, ESPN’s No. 8 dual-threat passer in the class of 2024. The Badgers, who finished the regular season 5-7, signed Meanwhile, two quarterbacks also arrived in the early signing period last week, four-star passer Carter Smith (No. 157 in the ESPN 300) and the Added three-star quarterback Landyn Locke.

The 2025 season will be Van Dyke’s sixth in college football. He made his first appearance in 2021 in Miami, where he filled in for the injured D’Eriq King and threw for 2,931 yards with 25 touchdowns and six interceptions on his way to ACC Rookie of the Year honors.

But Van Dyke’s next two seasons with the Hurricanes were marred by injury and turnover issues, most notably in the 2023 season, in which Van Dyke threw a career-best 12 interceptions and was benched in favor of backup Emory Williams before He returned to the starting position after Williams was out due to a season-ending injury.
