'21 CA QB Tyler Buchner (ND FB -> Bama FB -> ND LAX???)

[notredomer23]

Between the injury redshirt and Bama redshirt, does he have 3 years of eligibility?

 

[FightingIrishLover7]

Does this mean we get to see Drew Pyne walk on as a Leprechaun finally?

For you naysayers, read this. Good luck young man.

 

[Terry Jillery]

I have been thinking he should do this for a few weeks now. Glad he is. I’ll take the Gator Bowl MVP as a walk on.

i love the well written letter, but almost puked when he mentioned Dixieland delight

 

[GEORGIA DOMER]

Over/Under Touchdowns
2.5?

 

[notredomer23]

Over/Under Touchdowns
2.5?

I think the better line is O/U 2.5 receptions and I’d probably take the under between the depth chart and his inexperience at the position. Would love to be wrong!

Can’t wait to see the LAX PACK featuring Faison, Buchner & Jeffery

 

[IrishBoognish]

What an amazing letter.

Absolutely rooting for him.

 

[Some Irish Bloke]

I can't believe our fan base has miserable people who can't root for a guy who returned and is walking on. He's not taking up a single scholarship. Really having a hard time seeing the negatives in this move.

Seems like the coach and the team are going to welcome him back with open arms, he's excited to contribute in any way he can. This kid is easy to root for, even if his role is a minor one.

Yet
I'm going to die laughing if he works his way to one (if a happy for him, but this wild kind of way)

 

[fightingirish26]

Is he a walk on for lax? Then he has no chance of taking a fb scholly.

 

[FDNYIrish1]

What a ride for this kid and a great story. Hopefully he gets to win another National Championship. That letter was awesome and I will be rooting for him.

 

[ulukinatme]

Need to update this thread title...again lol

Should probably read "Tyler-Buchner-ND-Prodigal-Son"

For real though, gotta root for this kid to succeed. With Hartman coming in, Tyler did what he thought was best for his career. He came home after, hat in hand, knowing this is the place he wants to be. He could be a fantastic Scout QB, and any extra depth in the WR room is a blessing after last season.

I'm seeing Deja Vu though...when we're up 42-10 against FSU in a freezing game in November, we're going to see Buchner take some snaps at QB ala Wimbush against FSU in 2018.

Who is rooting against him?

Canonize and Giddyup aren't exactly in favor of this.

Would be awesome if any would-be transfers could read this letter before making their decision. What a great perspective he has, seeing the big picture and not just the instant gratification.

Couldn’t even see what those 2 losers wrote, they were already on my blocked list 😂

lol

Welcome back, his heart was left in South Bend! A true Golden Domer, welcome home.

 

[Rocketman84]

What a roller coaster for this kid. Starts for ND at Ohio State, starts a game at QB for Bama, now a walk-on WR. Kid deserves credit for sticking with it!

When you sum it up like that WOOOOOOW!! Injuries are a MF

 

[CANONIZEFATHERSORIN]

Again. He’s walking on as a Wide Receiver.

Canonize and Giddyup aren't exactly in favor of this.

I will reconsider and retract my comment as overly mean spirited and driven by resentment at how mediocre he was as a QB and the bama transfer. I hope he can succeed and help us out this fall

 

[Pops Freshenmeyer]

I think he could be a legit contributor on special teams.

 

[Blazers46]

WR recruiting at an all time low. Maybe we can get Jack Coan back to play slot. But seriously this is Del’s fault.

 

[Terry Jillery]

I could see some pretty slick trick plays coming out of this.

Double reverse pass for a wide open under thrown ball to Love that Love circles back to catch and eventually take for a TD. lol.

 

[calvegas04]

WR recruiting must really be down

 

[TheFreemanEra]

I don’t think you can emphasize enough how great the culture is at ND that MF has been able to build. Tyler’s story just reiterates that and his want to come back. God Bless Tyler and God Bless the Irish!!

 

[Terry Jillery]

I still think if we had him last year we beat Ohio State. He couldn’t come in on those short downs and converted. If Leonard gets hurt and Angeli starts, don’t be surprised to see Buchner in a QB role mostly just to run and get first downs.

Totally would've been in on that last drive.

Just kidding, I think he would have found a valuable roll with his running.
