Southern California wide receiver Zachariah Branch and his older brother, Trojans safety Zion Branch, have announced they are entering the transfer portal
Southern California wide receiver Zachariah Branch and his older brother, Trojans safety Zion Branch, are entering the transfer portal.
Zachariah and Zion announced their decisions on social media Tuesday. Several media outlets reported the two siblings would end up playing at the same school again.
“While this wasn’t an easy decision, I’m looking forward to what the future holds and am excited for the new opportunities ahead,” Zachariah Branch wrote in his post. “Thank you, Trojan Family.”
Zion Branch was one of the first elite recruits signed by USC coach Lincoln Riley, but he struggled with injuries throughout his tenure with the Trojans, recording 41 tackles over the past two seasons after missing the entire 2022 campaign with a lower-body injury.
