Overview
- Buchanan announced his commitment on Sunday after an official visit with head coach Kyle Whittingham, offensive coordinator Jason Beck and tight ends coach Freddie Whittingham.
- He posted 26 receptions for 427 yards and five touchdowns as a Utah freshman in 2025, highlighted by multiple 30-plus-yard plays and a four-catch, 76-yard showing in the Las Vegas Bowl.
- Reports indicate Buchanan will arrive with three years of eligibility remaining.
- Used primarily as a receiving threat in the slot or out wide, he averaged 16.4 yards per catch, led Power Four freshmen in contested catches per PFF and drew notes to improve run blocking.
- His arrival targets a clear need after Marlin Klein declared for the NFL draft, Brady Prieskorn entered the portal and a tight end signee withdrew, as Michigan also adds Utah transfers John Henry Daley and Jonah Lea’ea and Texas receiver Jaime Ffrench.
