Buchanan flashes the raw tools to be an impact outside linebacker at the next level. He possesses a long, rangy frame that should still grow a few inches and add major bulk once he enters a college weight training program. He displays the range, speed and acceleration to chase down backs to the sideline and the fluidity and quickness to mirror them in space. He shows great short-area closing speed and fast-twitched athleticism in the short-range and utilizes the same burst to wreak havoc as a blitzer. Solid tackler, who looks to decleat ball carriers. Buchanan's style fits perfect as a future Miami Hurricane linebacker.
