USC Trojans wide receiver Zachariah Branch has entered the transfer portal after spending two seasons with the Trojans. Branch, who is an explosive playmaker, is a former five-star recruit.
Branch played high school football for Bishop Gorman High School in Las Vegas, Nevada. The elusive receiver is the third-best player and second-best receiver in the transfer portal according to 247Sports.
The 5-foot-10, 175-pound receiver was named as a freshman All-American in 2023. Branch will likely be a package deal with his brother, Zion Branch. Safety Zion Branch recorded 19 tackles and three pass deflections during his sophomore season with USC.
Zachariah Branch’s top contenders are expected to be Louisville, Georgia, Michigan, Florida, Oklahoma and Miami. Branch entered the transfer portal with a destination already in mind as he has a do not contact tag on his entry into the portal.
The elite transfer posted 47 receptions for 503 yards and one touchdown as a sophomore with USC in 2024. Branch has immense potential as a Percy Harvin-type player. Branch returned a punt and a kickoff for a touchdown during the 2023 college football season.
