Joseph makes his name as a top 5 player in the rankings and the #1 overall DL as he can wreck havoc against offenses from any spot along the D-line. Able to play inside as a 3 tech or a multi-front DE, he will make offenses pay from anywhere on the field.

A player I have gotten to see live multiple times over the years, one thing about Joseph that stands out the most is relentless motor and energy he brings every down. Joseph plays with intensity and physicality and sets the tone for the defense. Buchanan has excellent pop and first step off the snap for his size. To go along with top level power and strength. He over powers blockers and is constantly in the backfield making impact tackles. With offers & interest from some of the top colleges in the nation, Joseph will be a force for years to come.
