Overview
- Tyler Van Dyke, a senior transfer from Miami, suffered a torn ACL in his right knee during Wisconsin's 42-10 loss to Alabama.
- Van Dyke's injury was confirmed by multiple sources, including the Wisconsin State Journal and ESPN, and he will miss the remainder of the season.
- Redshirt sophomore Braedyn Locke, who previously stepped in for an injured Tanner Mordecai last season, will now take over as the starting quarterback.
- Van Dyke had completed 63.2% of his passes for 422 yards and one touchdown in parts of three games this season before his injury.
- Wisconsin, currently 2-1, has a bye week before facing USC on September 28, giving Locke extra time to prepare as the new starter.
