Notre Dame football: MVP quarterback to enter transfer portal

Will he be back or how much will he be missed?

In Notre Dame’s most recent game it was quarterback [autotag]Tyler Buchner[/autotag] returning to the field after not playing for three months who helped lead the Irish to victory and secured Gator Bowl MVP honors.  Now the rising junior is entering the transfer portal.

Buchner is entering the portal but is willing to return to Notre Dame if he doesn’t like the available options.  ESPN’s Pete Thamel linked Buchner to Alabama and former Notre Dame play-caller Tommy Rees.

So will he or won’t he return to Notre Dame?  Having [autotag]Sam Hartman[/autotag] now and[autotag] C.J. Carr[/autotag] for the future certainly lessens the blow to the Irish but this one comes as a bit of a surprise after having heard all spring how close the competition for the QB-1 spot supposedly was.
