WVU Athletics Communication

Moments ago, West Virginia picked up a massive, and I mean massive signee in offensive lineman Eidan Buchanan. The big offensive lineman was pursued by others late in the process,but stuck with his commitment to WVU.

Evaluation

Talk about a big dude, Buchanan is the definition of it. Don't be fooled, though; he has good bend and athleticism for his size, which is what's allowed him to play left tackle at a high level. Now, at West Virginia, there's a good chance he kicks inside to play guard.

Again, a lot of positional stuff will depend on the new coaching staff, but he feels like a more natural fit on the interior. An absolute mauler in the run game and when he gets his hands on you, you're not going anywhere. Michigan pushed hard for him late, but to no avail. He's got a chance to play pretty early in Morgantown.
