08/15/22 - QB Tyler Buchner, rJr/2026, Transfer

Long considered the prohibitive favorite to open the season as Notre Dame's starting quarterback, Tyler Buchner learned in a Friday night position meeting he had indeed won the two-man battle with Drew Pyne. Notre Dame coach Marcus Freeman made the public announcement Saturday, three weeks before the fifth-ranked Irish open the season at No. 2 Ohio State. It will be the first career start for Buchner, who appeared in 10 games as a freshman last season, mostly as a change-of-pace option to Jack Coan. "We just felt like it was time," Freeman said. "It was time to give the offense clarity on who's going to be the starting quarterback."

Calling it an "extremely difficult decision" and one he and offensive coordinator Tommy Rees "spent an enormous amount of time" discussing, Freeman cited the "entire body of work" from both quarterbacks. Buchner, the top returning rusher on the team after a 336-yard, three-touchdown debut season with his legs, has just 35 career pass attempts. That's the fewest for a Notre Dame season-opening starter since Brandon Wimbush had five pass attempts heading into 2017. Buchner, who averaged 7.3 yards per carry last season, passed for 298 yards, three touchdowns and three interceptions in 2021. He did not appear in the Fiesta Bowl loss to Oklahoma State and missed the Blue-Gold Game with a sprained ankle after impressing the coaching staff through the first 13 practices. - South Bend Tribune
