Top Offers: Committed To Notre Dame

The Latest: La Jolla (Calif.) The Bishop's School quarterback Tyler Buchner gave Notre Dame a verbal commitment last March and is completely solid to the Irish. The four-star prospect's most recent visit to South Bend was Oct. 12 for the USC game and will likely return to Notre Dame in March. Buchner keeps in touch with a number of prospects to try to persuade them to Notre Dame. The nation's No. 43 overall prospect and No. 2 dual-threat quarterback had a simply stunning junior season, accounting for 81 total touchdowns, coming after his sophomore year in which he suffered a season-ending knee injury in the first game.
