Montana State’s Buchanan is a high-upside, position-flexible tight end with quarterback instincts
Thomas Buchanan is a redshirt freshman at Montana State who brings uncommon athletic background and real developmental upside after moving from quarterback to tight end. He was an all-state QB in high school with 2,500-plus total yards, 26 passing touchdowns, and 10 rushing scores, and Montana State notes he “thrived” after the switch in spring camp. For a team, the appeal is his size, ball skills, and versatility; the question is polish, not tools, so he looks like a strong fit for programs willing to develop a long-term mismatch weapon.
