Darren Buchanan Jr. brings Rutgers a big, versatile wing with real two-way bite
In the 2025-26 season, Darren Buchanan Jr. gave Rutgers 8.1 points, 3.9 rebounds and 1.7 assists per game while shooting 46.0% from the field, and he repeatedly flashed value as a strong, physical connector on both ends.[3][4] At 6-foot-7 and 240 pounds, he gives the Scarlet Knights rare guard/wing size, can guard multiple spots, and showed winning plays like the game-sealing block vs. Northwestern and a 13-rebound night in March.[3][7][12] If a team wants toughness, versatility and low-drama production, Buchanan is a very solid fit.
