Tyler Buchner<\/a> is returning to Notre Dame football<\/a>. But the former quarterback won’t be under center.<\/p>\n

Instead, Buchner is set to rejoin the Fighting Irish as a wide receiver<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Buchner was the starting quarterback at Notre Dame for the first part of the 2022 season. He then entered the transfer portal and joined Alabama but only played in two games<\/a> and threw just 19 passes.<\/p>\n

He returned to Notre Dame this spring but not to play football. Rather, Buchner joined the men’s lacrosse team and made 10 appearances this spring<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Notre Dame beat Maryland on Monday to win the national championship<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Coming out of high school, Buchner was a four-star quarterback prospect<\/a> at Helix High School (La Jolla, California).<\/p>\n

But before that, he was a wide receiver who showed plenty of promise as a freshman:<\/p>\n
