Wisconsin quarterback Tyler Van Dyke has a torn ACL in his right knee and is out for the rest of the season, sources confirmed to ESPN on Monday.
Van Dyke suffered the injury on a 5-yard scramble during the opening drive of Saturday’s 42-10 loss to Alabama.
Madison.com first reported the ACL tear.
A transfer from Miami, Van Dyke had 406 passing yards with a touchdown, no interceptions and a 60.3% completion rate in his first two starts at Wisconsin.
Braedyn Locke replaced Van Dyke against Alabama, completing 13 of 26 pass attempts for 125 yards and Wisconsin’s lone touchdown of the game.
Wisconsin (2-1) next plays at No. 11 USC in two weeks.
