Alabama QB Tyler Buchner Transferring Back to Notre Dame to Play Lacrosse

Quarterback Tyler Buchner is returning to Notre Dame to finish his collegiate athletic career.

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.
