During his junior season, Buchner completed 267 of 402 passes for 4,474 yards with 53 touchdowns and six interceptions for a QB rating of 137.2. On the ground, he rushed 128 times for 1,610 yards and 28 scores.

He committed to Notre Dame on March 8, 2019, picking the Irish over Alabama, Georgia, Michigan, Nebraska and many others. Rivals ranks Buchner as the nation's No. 2 dual-threat quarterback and No. 43 overall prospect.

Buchner played his first three seasons at La Jolla (Calif.) The Bishop’s School, but is transferring to La Mesa (Calif.) Helix Charter for his senior campaign.

He received several prestigious honors for his incredible season, including the Silver Pigskin, which is essentially the Heisman Trophy in San Diego, and Buchner was the first junior to win the award since Reggie Bush nearly two decades ago.

He was also named to three different MaxPreps first teams (all-state California, national small schools and all-junior team).

Notre Dame has eight commitments in the 2021 class, which is ranked No. 5 in the country by Rivals.
