Transfer QB Tyler Van Dyke commits to SMU after stints at Wisconsin, Miami
Wisconsin quarterback Tyler Van Dyke has committed to SMU after his visit last weekend, per ESPN’s Pete Thamel. It’s a reunion with SMU head coach Rhett Lashlee and quarterbacks coach D’Eriq King, who was the starter when Van Dyke was a true freshman in 2020.
Van Dyke began his career at Miami in 2020, spending four years with the program. He transferred to Wisconsin ahead of the 2024 season.
However, he only played in three games this year due to suffering a season-ending injury against Alabama. His career-best season came in 2021, his second with the Hurricanes when Lashlee was the offensive coordinator.
Van Dyke threw for 422 yards, one touchdown, zero interceptions and a 63.2% completion percentage this season. He won the job over Braedyn Locke, a former Mississippi State transfer. Over the course of his career, Van Dyke has 7,891 yards, 55 touchdowns, 23 interceptions and a 63.7% completion percentage.

SMU has a star in quarterback Kevin Jennings, but lost valuable experience with Preston Stone heading to Northwestern. Van Dyke can now continue his recovery and add valuable experience to the quarterback room.
