If Lashlee wins 10+ again then he won't be the HC in 2026.

He tore his ACL at the end of September. Didn't have surgery until October.

Man is going to be 26 years old playing college football like he's Alan Bowman.

 

[3rd-43]

He should get into coaching.

Or the PGA tour.

Or play Happy Gilmore's son in a movie.

Soon of Happy, a failed college QB who turns to golf to save his legacy.

Coaching lol. TVD couldn’t get an overweight, out of work, pathetic dude to follow an OF account

[The U is back to work]

I thought he had one more year? I didn’t realize he was done.

I thought he had one more year? I didn’t realize he was done.

Maybe lost appeal and said heck with it? Or injury is worse than expected?

 

[WesternMDCane]

Boy did we have high hopes for this kid after that 1 year, but playing hurt did him in. Good luck to the young buck.

He did have one more year. As of November, he was still planning to give it another go.

The journeyman: At six years and counting, SMU QB Tyler Van Dyke reflects on past and opens up on future

Tyler Van Dyke broke out as a college football superstar in the early NIL era. Now, he's recovering in relative anonymity at SMU. On his college football journey and what's next

It’s possible he moved on or that the 25% chance won out in the end:

"Then everything just exploded in my knee," Van Dyke said.

It's not the worst pain Van Dyke's felt. A previous Grade 3 AC joint sprain in his throwing shoulder felt worse. But it was a demoralizing injury all the same. He tore his ACL in his right knee and his meniscus. He also damaged cartilage in the bottom of his femur, which required three allograft plugs.

The injury had a recovery timeline of 12-plus months. Van Dyke hobbled around on crutches during the rest of the season. Turning the page in Dallas didn't mean the end of the recovery. The plugs were loose around the femur, which required a cleanup in July. It wasn't a major surgery. It was a setback and the reason he isn't fully cleared yet.

Van Dyke is planning to play college football in 2026: "As of now," he said.

His waiver appeal for a seventh season is being prepped. Van Dyke said he's been told there's around a 75% chance it's granted. He never used a redshirt year, and both the 2024 and 2025 campaigns should qualify for a medical redshirt.
