Former Wisconsin Badgers QB working to come back for 7th collegiate season after surgeries When Wisconsin Badgers quarterback Tyler Van Dyke tore his ACL against the Alabama Crimson Tide in 2024, many people assumed his career was...

NOVEMBER 4 • SI.COM

Available Week 9 Van Dyke (knee) has cleared SMU's injury report ahead of Saturday's game against Wake Forest.

Impact Van Dyke will be available for Saturday's game against the Demon Deacons after spending the first nine weeks of the 2025-26 season recovering from an ACL tear suffered last fall. The 6-foot-4 senior, who started with Wisconsin last season after transferring in from Miami, figures to back up Kevin Jennings in the contest.

Remains questionable Week 8 Van Dyke (knee) has been listed as questionable ahead of Saturday's game against Clemson.

Impact Van Dyke, who continues to recover from an ACL tear, remains questionable for the Mustangs heading into Saturday's game against the Tigers. The 6-foot-4 senior, who appeared in three games with Wisconsin last fall, would be Kevin Jennings' backup if healthy.

OCTOBER 16 • ROTOWIRE

Game-time decision Saturday Van Dyke (knee) is a game-time decision for Saturday's game versus Stanford.

Impact Van Dyke's status will not be decided until right before the game, although he's unlikely to play barring an injury to Kevin Jennings. He has not been available yet this season after tearing his ACL early last season.

OCTOBER 11 • ROTOWIRE

Questionable vs. Stanford Van Dyke (knee) is questionable for Saturday's game against Stanford.

Impact Van Dyke has yet to see the field this season as he navigates back from the torn ACL he suffered last season with the Badgers. The 6-foot-4 quarterback will aim to make his season debut against the Cardinal, but his true status should be deemed prior to kickoff. If he ends up being active for the matchup, it's still unlikely he'll play over Kevin Jennings.

OCTOBER 9 • ROTOWIRE

GTD vs. Syracuse Van Dyke (knee) is a game-time decision for Saturday's game against Syracuse.

Impact Van Dyke tore his ACL early last season with Wisconsin, so he's still been navigating back from the injury. The 6-foot-4 quarterback's status should be determined right before kickoff against the Orange.

OCTOBER 4 • ROTOWIRE

Questionable for Saturday Van Dyke (knee) is questionable for Saturday's game versus Syracuse, per the ACC availability report.

Impact Van Dyke, who tore his ACL early last season with Wisconsin, appears close to making his return to the field as he is listed as questionable for Saturday's contest. Even if he's healthy he will likely not start over Kevin Jennings immediately, but at least he's close to being ready to suit up.

Could play in 2025 or 2026 Van Dyke (knee) could play in either 2025 or 2026, Adam Lichtenstein of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.

Impact During the 2024 Wisconsin team's third game, Van Dyke suffered a torn ACL in his right knee, which has been undergoing healing since his commitment to SMU during January. But more than six months after his SMU commitment, it remains unclear whether or not he will be in uniform for 2025. It would be a loss for the Mustangs if they only use him sparingly this year, hence why their head coach Rhett Lashlee said there may be consideration for them pushing his team debut back until 2026.

Impact Now that Van Dyke has a 2025 school, his next objective will be to recover from a torn ACL that prematurely ended the quarterback's 2024 season before he even began conference play for Wisconsin. It was easily his worst year as an FBS athlete, one he will look to rectify with an ACC program that has established as one of that conference's most promising moving forward.

Hits portal again Van Dyke will enter the transfer portal, Matt Zenitz of 247Sports.com reports.

Impact Van Dyke was never really given a fair shot at Wisconsin. The former Miami Hurricane tore his right ACL just minutes into the Badgers' game against Alabama in Week 3, and proceeded to miss the remainder of the season. He had announced his intentions to return in 2025, although not necessarily to the Badgers. He'll have one more season of eligibility remaining as he tries to recapture his early-career magic one last time.

Aiming to return in 2025 Van Dyke (knee) is aiming to return to the Badgers in 2025 after tearing his ACL in Wisconsin's third game of the season, Evan Flood of 247Sports.com reports.

Impact Van Dyke tore the ACL in his right knee in the first quarter of Wisconsin's game against Alabama in September. He's been replaced by Braedyn Locke, who hasn't exactly proven that he's worthy of being the quarterback of the future in Madison. Wisconsin's quarterback room still looks rather bare for next fall, even with Van Dyke in the picture. Thus, it wouldn't be surprising to see the Badgers target a quarterback in the portal, as it seems unlikely Van Dyke would be healthy for spring practice. Either way, the quarterback has one more season of eligibility, should he choose to use it at Wisconsin or elsewhere.
