Wisconsin QB Van Dyke suffers leg injury in loss

Sports

MADISON, Wis. — Wisconsin starting quarterback Tyler Van Dyke left Saturday’s game against No. 4 Alabama with an apparent right knee/leg injury following a run on the opening drive.

Van Dyke, a transfer from Miami, scrambled for five yards along the Wisconsin sideline when his right knee appeared to buckle. The senior didn’t put any weight on his leg as he went into Wisconsin’s injury tent, and then was carted to the locker room, visibly upset and holding his head in his hands.

The 6-4, 225-pound Van Dyke sustained a rare right knee lesion last year against North Carolina but returned for Miami later in the season. The former ACC Rookie of the Year missed parts of six games because of injury at Miami in 2022. Van Dyke had 406 passing yards with a touchdown and no interceptions on 60.3% completions in his first two starts at Wisconsin, and had completed his first five pass attempts for 16 yards against Alabama.

Backup Braedyn Locke, who competed with Van Dyke during training camp, entered the game to lead the offense.
