When 247Sports released their newest player rankings on Wednesday, they did not bump Notre Dame quarterback commit Tyler Buchner to a 5-star prospect yet; but the new rankings did result in Buchner being bumped up to a 5-star prospect in their composite rankings. If those rankings were to hold true, Buchner would be the first 5-star QB of the Brian Kelly era since Gunner Kiel.
Buchner tore it up as a junior in 2019 with 4,474 yards and 53 touchdowns while completing 66.4% of his passes (267 of 402). He also only threw six interceptions on those 402 attempts—impressive numbers on their own.
