The Michigan Wolverines have successfully recruited former Utah tight end JJ Buchanan from the transfer portal, bolstering a position of significant need. Buchanan, a highly-touted recruit from Henderson, Nevada, made an immediate impact for the Utes during his freshman season in 2025.
He appeared in all 13 games, hauling in 26 passes for 427 yards and five touchdowns. Notably, Buchanan delivered a standout performance in the Las Vegas Bowl, contributing four catches for 76 yards and a touchdown. His versatility and receiving ability are expected to be valuable assets for Michigan.
With key departures from their tight end group, Buchanan's commitment provides much-needed depth and talent. Despite needing to develop his blocking skills, he possesses high upside and will compete for playing time, bringing three years of eligibility to Ann Arbor.
