Tyler Buchner sends message about Playoff plans, return to Notre Dame
Tyler Buchner will be sticking around with Alabama football for a little while longer before heading to back to Notre Dame to play lacrosse.
Buchner revealed on social media that he’ll be with the team for its College Football Playoff run, then he’ll return to South Bend and graduate next spring. The Fighting Irish are the defending national champions in men’s lacrosse.
“I am excited to return to ND to play lacrosse and graduate in May,” said Buchner. “Prior to that, I’ll be continuing my initial commitment to Alabama Football through the playoff and finishing what I started. I can’t thank everyone enough for their continued support.”

Alabama looks ahead to the Rose Bowl with Michigan next. The path to the Playoff wasn’t easy for the Crimson Tide, but they won out after the loss to Texas and punched their ticket.
