Wisconsin QB Tyler Van Dyke Out for Season with Torn ACL.

Van Dyke's injury occurred during the Badgers' opening drive against Alabama, leading to Braedyn Locke stepping in as the starting quarterback.

  • 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.
