Watch: Notre Dame Football Offers ’21 Safety

Xamarion Gordon, a defensive back that plays some corner and some safety.  His highlight film his junior year shows a player that’s more than happy to step up and make a tackle.

Even without Notre Dame taking the field this weekend they were still making news as they’ve offered a scholarship to try and help solidify their defensive backfield in the 2021 recruiting class.

Watch: Notre Dame Commit Tyler Buchner’s Highlight Tape is Ridiculous

Buchner finished his 13-game junior season averaging 467 total yards per game, 6071 total yards and 81 total touchdowns.

Tyler Buchner won’t be playing quarterback at Notre Dame until at least the fall of 2021 but his recently released highlight tape has fans and scouts alike lighting up with excitement.

Although his team The Bishop’s School or La Jolla, California lost the state championship last week, the fault hardly fell on Buchner who threw for 296 yards and three touchdowns while rushing for 353 and scoring five times on the ground.

No, that Lamar Jackson-at-Louisville stat-line isn’t a misprint.

Buchner finished his 13-game junior season averaging 467 total yards per game, 6071 total yards and 81 total touchdowns.

His highlight tape is somehow even more impressive than the stats.

Notre Dame is in a very good place having just wrapped up their third straight ten-win season, but Fighting Irish fans are understandably stoked for when Buchner will arrive in 2021.
