JJ Buchanan is emerging as Michigan’s next big-play mismatch
In the 2025 season at Utah, JJ Buchanan posted 26 catches for 427 yards and 5 touchdowns, then carried that momentum to Michigan as a 6-foot-3, 225-pound transfer with a huge catch radius, reliable hands, and strong contested-catch ability[3][4][15]. He’s being talked about as a top target in Michigan’s revamped passing game and is expected to start near the top of the depth chart in 2026, with coaches raving that he can win 50/50 balls, block, and create problems as a well-rounded receiver[7][14][15]. The fit looks strong if your offense wants a physical, high-upside WR who already knows the system and can stress defenses vertically.
