Miami Hurricanes standout quarterback Tyler Van Dyke is included among 85 of the nation’s top players on the Maxwell Award watch list.

Van Dyke, a third-year sophomore, is one of only 16 sophomores who made the list.

The 6-foot-4, 224-pound Connecticut native is coming off a stellar 2021 season. He was named ACC Rookie of the Year after throwing for 2,931 yards and 25 touchdowns in just 10 games after replacing starter D’Eriq King. He completed 62.3 percent of his passes, the sixth-best single-season mark in UM history, and threw only five interceptions.
