The first commitment of the 2020 recruiting class came almost a year ago, from then sophomore quarterback Drew Pyne, out of New Canaan, Connecticut. That commitment has fallen under the radar a bit, as is often the case when a player commits from two cycles away. The same is somewhat true of Tyler Buchner, the quarterback from the 2021 class who just committed to the Irish. It’s hard to get excited about a player who won’t be on campus for another two seasons.
Pyne popped back into the news recently for unfortunate reasons; he and his fellow 2020 commits took a pretty big hit in 247’s in house rankings, and therefore their composite rankings also took a dip.
