Sanford (Fla.) offensive lineman and Clemson target Max Buchanan was covered in a note by Rivals.com national analyst John Garcia Jr. this afternoon. As Paul has documented, a 4-star billing is forthcoming.
The interior projection has long held a strong reputation, but Rivals had not been able to get a fresh look at Buchanan in action until the Rivals Camp Series Miami weekend – where he stole the show. Not only did he look near-dominant en route to his MVP award in early April, but he did it in a way that made onlookers value where his game is at currently while also being intrigued about where it will grow moving forward. The balanced blocker has also added good mass to his frame, possessing the look of a player who could get into an offensive line rotation early in his college journey.
Buchanan has excellent feet and it's the foundation of his swift redirection skill, power and strong anchor. Coupled with plenty of tenacity, there is an edge to his game that is just as easy to like. The bump from three stars to blue-chip status is all but guaranteed during our next update, and the rise may not soon stop there for one of the top interior projections in the class. -- John Garcia Jr.
