Alabama has made a new addition to its quarterback room.

Former Notre Dame quarterback Tyler Buchner announced his intentions to transfer to the Crimson Tide on Thursday. Buchner provided a statement on his commitment in a post on social media.

“My time at Notre Dame allowed me to grow and develop as a football player while building lifelong friendships that were forged under fire,” Buchner said. “I love my teammates and I will take those relationships with me for the rest of my life – They truly made my tie at Notre Dame special. I also want to thank coach Freeman, the coaching staff, support staff and the entire Irish family for all they did to help me mature both on and off the field.

“Sometimes life brings opportunities that are beyond anything you can imagine and that is what has happened today. I have committed to play football for the University of Alabama and head coach Nick Saban. I know this is the best decision for my future, and I can’t wait to get to Tuscaloosa and begin the next step of my football journey.”

Buchner brings a previous relationship with Alabam offensive coordinator Tommy Rees who called the plays for the Fighting Irish for both of Buchner’s seasons.
