Miami confirms Tyler Van Dyke's focus on team amid transfer portal rumors
Tyler Van Dyke isn’t going anywhere. He’ll be a Miami Hurricane in 2023, the team’s Twitter account confirmed on Thursday. Van Dyke himself retweeted the post to set the news in stone.
According to CaneSport, NIL “collectives representing multiple schools,” have approached the Miami QB with potential transfer portal opportunities.
“Relentlessly working. All focus on 2023. 100% CANE!”
Van Dyke has been the guy in South Beach ever since he took over the starting quarterback job from D’Eriq King in 2021. After starting the final nine games, he earned ACC Offensive Rookie of the Year honors after completing 62.3 precent of his passes for 2,931 yards with 25 TD passes and just six INTs.
Last season, Van Dyke experienced a bit of a learning curve in Miami’s new offense. He totaled four touchdown passes and three interceptions during the ‘Canes first four games of the 2022 season. His season highlight came against North Carolina — 496 passing yards, 3 TDs, 1 INT — befoer suffering a season-ending injury later in the year against Duke. He ended the year with 1,835 passing yards, 10 touchdowns and five interceptions

Transfer portal background information
The NCAA Transfer Portal, which covers every NCAA sport at the Division I, II and III levels, is a private database with names of student-athletes who wish to transfer. It is not accessible to the public.
The process of entering the portal is done through a school’s compliance office. Once a player provides written notification of an intent to transfer, the office enters the player’s name in the database and everything is off and running. The compliance office has 48 hours to comply with the player’s request and that request cannot be refused.

Once a player’s name shows up in the portal, other schools can contact the player. Players can change their minds at any point and withdraw from the portal. However, once a player enters the portal, the current scholarship no longer has to be honored. In other words, if a player enters the portal but decides to stay, the school is not obligated to provide a scholarship anymore.
The database is a normal database, sortable by a variety of topics, including (of course) sport and name. A player’s individual entry includes basic details such as contact info, whether the player was on scholarship and whether the player is transferring as a graduate student.
A player can ask that a “do not contact” tag be placed on the report. In those instances, the players don’t want to be contacted by schools unless they’ve initiated the communication.
The portal has been around since Oct. 15, 2018 and the new calendar cycle within the portal begins each August. For example, the 2021-22 cycle started Aug. 1. During the 2020-21 cycle, 2,626 FBS football players entered the transfer portal (including walk-ons). That comes after 1,681 entered during the 2019-20 cycle and 1,709 during the abbreviated 2018-19 cycle. In comparison, 1,833 Division I basketball players entered the portal during the 2020-21 cycle after totals of 1,020 in 2019-20 and 1,063 in 2018-19.
