Leading receiver in loss Buchanan posted four receptions (on nine targets) for 50 yards during Saturday's 20-14 loss to Minnesota.

Impact On a day in which quarteback Bryce Underwood threw for just 101 yards, Buchanan managed to account for 50 of them. The 6-foot-4 receiver continued to lead the Wolverines in receiving, finishing with team-high numbers in both receptions and yards as one of just three Michigan pass-catchers on the day. Underwood's struggles may limit Buchanan's ceiling moving forward, but his control over the top spot in the passing game should at least provide him a solid floor moving forward. A home matchup against Penn State awaits on Saturday.

Productive in blowout win Buchanan caught 7 of 9 targets for 92 yards and one touchdown during Saturday's 52-17 victory over UTEP.

Impact Following a quiet game against Oklahoma last week, Buchanan got back on the right track against UTEP. The 6-foot-4 sophomore caught a season-high seven passes for 92 yards while connecting with quarterback Bryce Underwood for a 21-yard scoring strike in the second quarter, tying the game at 14 at the time. Outside of last week's disappointment against the Sooners, Buchanan has been heavily involved in the Michigan passing sttack and looks to be one of Underwood's favorite targets at this point in the season. A home matchup against Iowa on Saturday will serve as his next opportunity.

Back to Earth Buchanan compiled two receptions (on six targets) for 48 yards during Saturday's 17-10 win versus Oklahoma.

Impact While falling from 126 yards in Michigan's season opener against Western Michigan to just 48 against Oklahoma is portntially concerning, the 6-foot-4 sophomore did manage to lead the Wolverines once again in yards on the day.

Big day in opener Buchanan totaled six receptions (on nine targets) for 126 yards and one touchdown during Saturday's 13-12 victory over Western Michigan.

Impact Buchana put the exclamation point in what will certainly be one of the most talked-about college football finishes in recent memory, climbing the ladder to haul in a 47-yard Hail Mary at or after the end of regulation, depending on personal preference. Regardless of any controversy, Buchanan was one of the few bright spots on the day for the Wolverines, as the 6-foot-4 sophomore paced the team in both receptions and yards by significant margins and had put together a respectable day even before the Hail Mary toss. A tougher matchup against a talented Oklahoma squad awaits next week, but Buchanan's heavy involvement against Western Michigan bodes well for him moving forward.

Set for prominent role on offense Buchanan is set to open the 2026 season as Michigan's WR2, according to Tony Garcia of The Detroit Free Press.

Impact Buchanan was a standout performer for Michigan in the spring camp, and now he seems set to open the season as the WR2 on the depth chart behind Andrew Marsh. Buchanan is a true sophomore but has the advantage of having transferred in with his coach, offensive coordinator (Jason Beck) and wide receivers coach (Micah Simon), leading to familiarity with the concepts and scheme. He was outstanding for Utah in 2025, catching 26 passes for 427 yards and five scores in 11 appearances.
