2021 Season Countdown: #103 Luke Buckman
Name: Luke Buckman
Height: 6’5″
Weight: 244 lbs.
High school: Holland (MI) Holland
Position: Tight end
Class: Redshirt junior
Jersey number: #35
Last year: I did not rank Buckman. He did not play.
TTB Rating: N/A
Buckman enters his fourth season in the program without having seen the field yet. He’s the younger brother of Wade Buckman, who played a little bit of tight end at Purdue and Western Michigan. Michigan has often played walk-on tight ends, and Luke Buckman has good size. But I have not seen anything yet to suggest that he is a threat to see the field. Michigan lost Nick Eubanks to graduation, but the replacement on the roster is a 4-star freshman in Louis Hansen, who is reportedly already up to 250 lbs. So I assume Buckman will spend this season on the sideline.
Prediction: Backup tight end
