CORAL GABLES — Tyler Van Dyke was a bright spot for the Hurricanes in an otherwise tumultuous 2021 season.
In his second year on campus, the Connecticut native threw for 2,931 yards and tossed 25 touchdown passes en route to winning ACC Offensive Rookie of the Year and Rookie of the Year.
Although first-year Miami coach Mario Cristobal hasn’t had the chance to manage Van Dyke in a game yet, Cristobal, who coached NFL standout Justin Herbert at Oregon, has identified his quarterback as another star.
“This guy,” Cristobal said, “he’s special.”
Van Dyke has already earned national recognition for his talent.
