It did not take long for ex-Notre Dame quarterback Tyler Buchner to find a new home.
Buchner opened the 2022 season as Notre Dame’s starting quarterback but he went down with an injury in Week 2. He returned to play in the Irish’s Gator Bowl win over South Carolina. Buchner threw for 274 yards and three touchdowns and added 61 yards and two scores on the ground in the win. But he also threw three interceptions, two of which were returned for touchdowns.
After the bowl game, the Notre Dame coaching staff brought in Sam Hartman from Wake Forest to bolster the position group. Hartman has thrown for 12,967 yards and 110 touchdowns in his career. He and Buchner battled for the starting job during spring practice. Notre Dame head coach Marcus Freeman never named a starter, but Hartman was the clear favorite.
A few days after the Irish’s spring game, Buchner decided to enter the transfer portal to explore his options and he found a mighty attractive one in Tuscaloosa.Buchner is entering his third season of college football but has three seasons of eligibility remaining. He played in only three games last fall, allowing him to maintain his redshirt. Buchner played in 10 games in 2021 but was mainly used as a runner.
At Alabama, he will enter what seems to be a wide-open quarterback competition to replace Bryce Young, the Heisman Trophy winner who is expected to be selected No. 1 overall in Thursday night’s NFL draft. Jalen Milroe and Ty Simpson were taking the majority of the first-team reps during spring practice, and neither impressed during the spring game on Saturday.and did not seem opposed to adding another arm to the group.
