Buchanan was one of four signees in Virginia Tech’s 2022 recruiting class. He, along with center Patrick Wessler, did not play in 2022-23 and redshirted. Buchanan will have four years of eligibility at his next stop.

When the Hokies signed the 6-foot-7, 235-pound Buchanan last year, he was viewed as a developmental prospect.
