High school career

[edit | edit source]

Buchner attended The Bishop's School in La Jolla, California, before transferring to Helix High School in La Mesa, California, for his senior year.[2] He did not play football his senior year in 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic.[3] As a junior in 2019, Buchner passed for 4,474 yards with 53 passing touchdowns and 1,610 rushing yards and 28 rushing touchdowns.[4] He committed to the University of Notre Dame to play college football over offers from Alabama, TCU, Georgia, USC, and Michigan, among others.[5][6][7]

College career

Notre Dame

[edit | edit source]

Buchner spent his first year at Notre Dame in 2021 as a backup to quarterback Jack Coan.[8] He appeared in 10 games, completing 21 of 35 passes for 298 yards with three touchdowns and three interceptions. He also rushed for 336 yards and three touchdowns.[9] Buchner competed with Drew Pyne to take over as the team's starting quarterback in 2022.[10][11] During his second game as starter, he injured his shoulder during Notre Dame's loss to Marshall on September 10, 2022, and missed the remainder of the 2022 regular season.[12] He returned to the field for Notre Dame's victory against South Carolina in the 2022 Gator Bowl.[13]

Alabama

[edit | edit source]

In 2023, he entered the NCAA transfer portal and soon transferred to the University of Alabama.[14] In week three, Buchner started against South Florida but struggled throughout the game and was later benched in favor of Ty Simpson.[15][16] Nick Saban would announce Jalen Milroe as the starter for the rest of the season.[17]

Return to Notre Dame

[edit | edit source]

On December 4, 2023, Buchner entered the transfer portal as a men's lacrosse player. He had been a highly ranked lacrosse recruit in high school, and in April 2017 had verbally committed to the University of Michigan for lacrosse before eventually committing to Notre Dame for football.[18][19] On December 20, 2023, Buchner announced that following the conclusion of Alabama's 2023 football season he would transfer back to Notre Dame to join Notre Dame Fighting Irish men's lacrosse.[20] Buchner was part of Notre Dame's 15–5 victory in the 2024 National Championship game against Maryland.[21]

In May 2024, Buchner re-joined the Notre Dame football team as a walk-on wide receiver.[22]

On September 13, 2025, Buchner served as the holder during Notre Dame's game against Texas A&M. With the Irish leading 40–34 late in the fourth quarter, he mishandled the snap on an extra point attempt that would have extended the lead to seven. Texas A&M later scored a touchdown and converted the extra point with 13 seconds remaining to win 41–40.[23]
