The Wisconsin Badgers had their worst season of the last two decades in 2024. Wisconsin finished the year 5-7 overall with a 3-6 conference record. They missed their first bowl opportunity in 22 years.
Luke Fickell’s time in Madison so far has been tumultuous, but there is still hope for the future.
That being said, one former quarterback found a new home in college football.

The agent for former Wisconsin/Miami quarterback Tyler Van Dyke announced Wednesday that his client has a new school:
The fifth-year quarterback entered the transfer portal after appearing in three games this fall during his debut season with the Badgers before sustaining a season-ending injury against Alabama on Sept. 14.
Van Dyke, a three-year starter at Miami from 2021 to 2023, has 7,891 career passing yards and 55 career touchdown passes and has one year of eligibility remaining. He was ranked by ESPN as the 25th-best quarterback in the transfer portal.
His best season with the Hurricanes came in 2021, when current SMU coach Rhett Lashlee was the offensive coordinator at Miami.
Van Dyke was ACC rookie of the year as a redshirt freshman that season, taking over for injured D’Eriq King and throwing for 2,931 yards with 25 touchdowns and six interceptions.
With 33 career games played, the 6-foot-4, 225-pound passer was one of the most experienced quarterbacks available in the 2024 portal cycle.
