Tyler Buchner spent one season as a quarterback at Alabama, following his offensive coordinator Tommy Rees to Tuscaloosa for the opportunity to play for the Crimson Tide. Buchner was not named the starter, as Jalen Milroe won the job.
But after Milroe struggled in Alabama’s loss to Texas, Buchner got his opportunity with a start at USF. In the now infamous game, Buchner was 5-of-14 for 34 yards. He finished his Crimson Tide career with 61 total yards and no touchdowns before deciding to re-enter the transfer portal and return to Notre Dame to play a different sport.
“I had been lured to Alabama by opportunities that glistened like gold in the Southern sun,” Buchner said in a personal essay released on the Notre Dame official athletic website. “When I transferred, it was with a heavy heart and a mind clouded by uncertainty. There were whispers in my ear, persuasive voices, and the glittering prospect of opportunity. As a 20-year-old, the ache of leaving behind the Fighting Irish was overshadowed by the pull of the transfer portal and the promise of playing one season for Coach Saban as the next logical step towards playing in the NFL. But I had forgotten why I chose Notre Dame in the first place, and it took a season away to realize what I had and why I loved Notre Dame.”
Buchner recently won a national title with the Notre Dame lacrosse team, and on Friday, he announced that he would be rejoining the Fighting Irish football team as a walk-on wide receiver.
