The Miami Hurricanes will have to look for another starting quarterback thanks to the transfer portal. In the first day of announcements, many players have announced their intentions to change teams. Miami quarterback Tyler Van Dyke shocked many by announcing his intentions to enter the portal.
Miami Hurricanes Tyler Van Dyke To Enter The Transfer Portal
Van Dyke has been the Hurricanes starter since 2021. His performance in 2021 earned him ACC Rookie of the Year and ACC Offensive Rookie of the Year honors. This season he threw for 2,703 yards, 19 touchdowns, and 12 interceptions in 11 games. He enters the portal as a grad transfer. In a social media post on X, Van Dyke had this to say.
“I want to thank the University of Miami, my teammates, coaching staff, and everyone associated with the University who have made this chapter in my life truly special and invaluable. “I have created lifelong friendships and memories, which I will always cherish. I am deeply appreciative of the opportunities and experiences that have shaped me during my time here.
“I am looking forward to the next chapter and what my future holds.”
A Good Prize For A Win Now Team
Van Dyke is the perfect fit for a team that is looking to win now. Van Dyke has three years of starting experience in an ACC program. If a team is not excited about their quarterback situation in 2024, Van Dyke could be an easy stopgap. This is the nature of the new college football landscape. Van Dyke is clearly hoping that a top-tier program takes a swing and brings him in to make a run at the College Football Playoff.
The Miami Hurricanes will be searching for a new quarterback after Tyler Van Dyke made the decision to enter the portal. It is a problem that so many programs are dealing with and one that programs will have to figure out how to manage in the 2023 college football landscape.
