Landing a veteran quarterback in the transfer portal was a top priority for Wisconsin Badgers head football coach Luke Fickell.
This was partly because starting QB Tanner Mordecai exhausted his eligibility after the bowl game and also due to the offensive struggles in the first year running the air raid under Phil Longo.
Hoping to ignite the downfield passing attack, the Wisconsin Badgers brought in Miami transfer Tyler Van Dyke, who has 28 career starts under his belt, to push for the starting role.
This past season, Van Dyke threw for 2,703 yards with 19 touchdowns, 23 big-time throws, and 12 interceptions.
