Change is a natural part of life. The ups and downs of it. People come and go, and you’ll be faced with difficult tasks and decisions. It’s natural. This story couldn’t be more true than for University of Miami starting quarterback Tyler Van Dyke.
Being a highly touted quarterback out of high school, a four-star prospect ranked third in his class for position and first in the state by ESPN, Van Dyke committed to Miami. The 6-foot-4 pocket passer redshirted his first year as he sat behind starter D’Eriq King for the entirety of his freshman season.
Miami’s plan for Van Dyke was to have him back up King 2021, but injuries struck, and the Glastonbury, Connecticut native was thrust into the starting lineup.
