Tyler Van Dyke Named Wisconsin's Starting Quarterback

Tyler Van Dyke has been named the starting quarterback for the Wisconsin Badgers, succeeding Braedyn Locke after a competitive training camp. Van Dyke, a transfer from Miami, had previously been recognized as the ACC Rookie of the Year in 2021 but struggled with injuries and inconsistency in subsequent seasons. Offensive coordinator Phil Longo indicated that the competition was close, describing it as a '1A and 1B' situation. The Badgers, who finished 7-6 last season, will face a challenging schedule in 2024, including games against Alabama and USC. Van Dyke's experience and past performance are expected to invigorate Wisconsin's offense as they prepare for their season opener against Western Michigan on August 30. The coaching staff has expressed confidence in Van Dyke's ability to lead the team effectively this season.
