Alabama quarterback Tyler Buchner has entered the transfer portal as a lacrosse player.
Buchner, who transferred to the Crimson Tide last offseason from Notre Dame, where he played in three games in 2022, played lacrosse at The Bishop’s School (La Jolla, California), according to his Alabama bio.
He was considered one of the top lacrosse recruits in the country while in high school. He hasn’t ruled out a return to football, but a source close to Buchner told ESPN’s Pete Thamel that Buchner is expected to explore his lacrosse options this spring.
