Michael Buchanan had 68 tackles and 10 sacks as a junior, good enough to earn All-Conference honors, Bench presses 300-pounds, squats 495 and claims a 32-inch vertical jump.

Final senior (4-5, no playoffs) stats: 100+ tackles, 15 tackles for loss and five sacks.

Buchanan says he's considering majoring in sports medicine and reports a 3.1 core GPA and a 22 ACT.

"But I want to get better at everything. I really want to bulk up, but still get faster."
