Duquesne’s steady, old-school interior anchor
Dan Buchholz was a durable, physical presence for Duquesne, starting 24 straight games to finish his career and earning 2015 First Team All-NEC honors while helping lead the Dukes to their first FCS playoff appearance.[3] At 6-foot-4 and 301 pounds, he was viewed as an interior OL prospect with enough pop to win at the point of attack, though scouting notes said his finish could be more consistent.[2] The bigger takeaway: he was a reliable, battle-tested tone-setter—exactly the kind of lineman coaches trust when they want grit, continuity, and no-drama trench work.[2][3]
