Badgers’ QB heading south

Tyler Van Dyke, whose only season at Wisconsin was cut short because of a major knee injury, is moving on to SMU.

The quarterback’s transfer destination was reported by multiple media outlets Wednesday and his agent, Shawn O’Dare, congratulated him on social media.

Van Dyke was a three-year starter at Miami, where he was 2021 ACC rookie of the year, and he transferred to Wisconsin after the 2023 season.

He won the Badgers’ starting job in preseason practice and led them to two wins before he tore his anterior cruciate ligament Sept. 14 against Alabama.

SMU is expected to bring back 2024 starter Kevin Jennings, who led the Mustangs to 11 wins and the College Football Playoff. Jennings’ backup, Preston Stone, transferred to Northwestern.

Perez signs with White Sox

CHICAGO — The Chicago White Sox have added Martin Perez to their rotation, agreeing to a one-year contract with the veteran left-hander, according to a person with direct knowledge of the negotiations.

The person spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity because the deal was pending a physical.

The 33-year-old Perez played for Pittsburgh and San Diego last season, going 5-6 with a 4.53 ERA in 26 starts. He is 90-87 with a 4.44 ERA in 314 major league appearances, including 269 starts. Perez made his major league debut with Texas in 2012 and helped the Rangers win the 2023 World Series.
