Van Dyke enters the portal again, ESPN reported on December 9th. He arrived at Wisconsin prior to the 2024 season after transferring from Miami (Florida), where he won the 2021 ACC Rookie of the Year title.

Van Dyke has one more season of eligibility.

For 2025, Ohio State has a crowded quarterback room that includes Julian Sayin, who was the nation’s top-rated recruit in the 2024 class.

Western Kentucky QB TJ Finley

Finley has announced that he wants to enter the portal for the fifth time. He previously played for LSU, Auburn and Texas State. Finley was named WKU’s starter earlier this season, but was sidelined by a leg injury in early September and was never able to resume the starting role. In three games, he threw for 490 yards, one touchdown and two interceptions.

Michigan RB Cole Cabana
