An Alabama quarterback has confirmed his announcement to transfer after this season.
Tyler Buchner, a former Notre Dame quarterback, shared on social media he will transfer back to the Fighting Irish and play lacrosse after finishing the College Football Playoff with the Crimson Tide. Buchner played in two games for Alabama, including a start versus South Florida. He completed eight of 19 passes for 61 yards. He also totaled three carries for 20 yards and a touchdown.
I am excited to return to ND to play lacrosse and graduate in May. Prior to that, I’ll be continuing my initial commitment to Alabama Football through the playoff and finishing what I started. I can’t thank everyone enough for their continued support.
