Entering the 2022 season, Van Dyke will have to adapt to a different offense. Miami hired Broyles Award-winning offensive coordinator Josh Gattis from Michigan. Van Dyke working in a different offense than he did in 2021 under previous OC Rhett Lashlee will provide him a chance to prove he can thrive in different offenses.

Another huge season will improve the draft stock for Van Dyke and create more potential NIL deals before leaving college. Van Dyke could become one of the bigger stars for Miami in recent memory. Miami has not had a Heisman Trophy finalist since running back Willis McGahee finished fourth and QB Ken Dorsey fifth in 2002.
