Former Notre Dame quarterback Tyler Buchner has committed to Alabama, he announced on social media Thursday.
“My time at Notre Dame allowed me to grow and develop as a football player while building lifelong friendships that were forged under fire,” Buchner wrote. “I love my teammates and I will take those relationships with me for the rest of my life. They truly made my time at Notre Dame special. I also want to thank Coach Freeman, the coaching staff, support staff and entire Irish family for all they did to help me mature on and off the football field.
“Sometimes life brings opportunities that are beyond anything you can imagine and that is what has happened today. I have committed to play football for the University of Alabama and head coach Nick Saban. I know this is the best decision for my future and I can’t wait to get to Tuscaloosa and begin the next step of my football journey.”
