Tyler Buchner (born November 7, 2002) is an American lacrosse midfielder for the Notre Dame Fighting Irish and American football wide receiver for the Notre Dame Fighting Irish. He previously played college football for the Alabama Crimson Tide.

High school career

Buchner attended The Bishop's School in La Jolla, California, before transferring to Helix High School in La Mesa, California, for his senior year.[2] He did not play football his senior year in 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic.[3] As a junior in 2019, Buchner passed for 4,474 yards with 53 passing touchdowns and 1,610 rushing yards and 28 rushing touchdowns.[4] He committed to the University of Notre Dame to play college football over offers from Alabama, TCU, Georgia, USC, and Michigan, among others.[5] [6] [7]

Notre Dame

Buchner spent his first year at Notre Dame in 2021 as a backup to Jack Coan.[8] He appeared in 10 games, completing 21 of 35 passes for 298 yards with three touchdowns and three interceptions. He also rushed for 336 yards and three touchdowns.[9] Buchner competed with Drew Pyne to take over as the team's starting quarterback in 2022.[10] [11] He injured his shoulder during Notre Dame's loss to Marshall on September 10, 2022, and missed the remainder of the 2022 regular season.[12] He returned to the field for Notre Dame's victory against South Carolina in the 2022 Gator Bowl.

Alabama

In 2023, he entered the NCAA transfer portal and soon transferred to the University of Alabama.[13] In week three, Buchner started against South Florida but struggled throughout the game and was later benched in favor of Ty Simpson.[14] [15] Nick Saban would announce Jalen Milroe as the starter for the rest of the season.[16]
