Buchanan Commits: Virginia Tech Lands Top 2027 Recruit

Kaden Buchanan, a highly-touted 2027 recruit from Friendship Christian School, has committed to Virginia Tech. Standing at an imposing 6-foot-5 and weighing over 330 pounds, Buchanan is a significant addition to the Hokies' offensive line.

Buchanan cited the feeling of home and the development plans presented by coaches James Franklin and Matt Moore as key factors in his decision. He expressed admiration for Blacksburg's community and the team's vision.

Virginia Tech's offense has struggled in recent seasons, ranking 114th in scoring in the past year. Head coach James Franklin is prioritizing offensive recruits to elevate the program, aiming to restore it to the caliber seen in past eras.

Buchanan is one of six four-star commitments in the 2027 class, with five of them on the offensive side of the ball. This group includes top-rated quarterback Peter Bourque, and Buchanan is keen on building a strong bond with his future offensive teammates.

Despite his college commitment, Buchanan remains focused on his current high school season at Friendship Christian, which is pursuing its fifth state title. Having his future secured allows him to concentrate on leading his team.
