2023 USC commit Zachariah Branch - 2021 Highlights

Junior highlights of Bishop Gorman's (Las Vegas, NV) 4-star wide receiver Zachariah Branch.

[@ThePrincekollie]

The way he’s able to stop and then accelerate while changing directions is crazy 🔥

[@alexfernandez8943]

I just pray his ACL's hold up 🙏

[@tommoya7452]

should of watched britain covey highlights

[@Sbannmarie298]

Hello from 2023- he’s a game changer

[@realspitter2727]

@@alexfernandez8943I’ve noticed it’s always non black dudes randomly bringing up black players’ acls. It’s really weird

[@Naz-c2y]

He reminds me of Reggie Bush.

[@YouDontKnowISH_]

Duuuude, the crazy part is it looks like he's only running at 75% speed at many times in this clip yet he's blowing by everyone. That's nuts! Kid is so smooth yet shifty. So excited for this '23 class. FIGHT ON!

[@jiggnorth3593]

My boy just joggin all the way to the endzone in the first clip while the ref rollin around on the ground.

[@dnamatrixsystems1407]

USC!!!!!! This kid reminds me so much of D'anthony Thomas..... He's shifty af! Definitely a home run hitter every time he touches the ball

[@SkateboardGee]

Crazy, I was thinking the thing I literally never compare anybody to DT

[@DPMixing]

He’s already faster than DeAnthony Thomas was in HS. He’s basically Tyreek Hill 2.0. 10.3 100m as a sophomore is stupid fast,Thomas only ran 10.5 as a senior. Zachariah could have an Olympic career in track if he wanted, but obviously his football potential is just as high and would be more lucrative.

DeSean Jackson

[@jss.2020]

Reggie Bush

[@prekaeysaeboe5057]

Bro has crazy speed control. He’s super fast but yet he can stop on a dime. And not only that he can instantly change direction. It’s kinda similar to kadarius toney/ Tavon Austin but with tyreek hill/ DeAnthony Thomas speed and acceleration.

[@00jnunez]

This kids acceleration is insane. Reminds me of Jerry Juedy a lot.

[@ko9856]

Percy harvin clone

[@luckyhcf45]

first clip ref falling over 🤣🤣🤣

[@miket6335]

Come to USC! Coach Riley will get you the ball the same way he did Marquise Brown in Oklahoma. You have that same game changing ability

[@SkateboardGee]

Man, he is a beast!!!!

[@stevegatoloai2179]

His ability to switch his speed is just insane 🤯🔥💯

[@TheRealEricRose]

Reminds me of Percy Harvin the way he can just start running and it looks like he’s instantly 15 yards in a split second

[@ko9856]

I swear i was thinking the same thing has that effortless look to him just like percy. When this kid comes into his man body geesh!!

[@seantaylor6565]

This is probably best comp forgot about Percy until this

[@WhoChason]

0:06 how did the ref fall bruh 😂

[@lakerdawgz32]

This kids has the juice 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 Fight on ✌✌✌✌

[@Dr.Midnight]

as someone who's followed the recruiting industry for some time its always funny to me to see the discrepancy between some players that have the same 5* designation. To me this kid looks way better than any of the other 5* receivers. I say this as a UGA fan, just so you know I'm not biased. Some UGA beat writers have even said Brandon Innis is interested in UGA, when I compare to two its not even close to me.

[@TideV2]

Athleticism is not the only mark of a great receiver. Most of the best in the NFL were not exceptional athletes by nfl standards.

[@altspencer2264]

Inniss is more massive and is better at routes and may be more like Jamarr Chase, Branch is shifter and faster and might be like Jaylen Waddle. both are going to schools with legendary WR coaches tho

[@RiseOfTheKumquat67]

So many people jumped on the "Raleek Brown is the next Reggie Bush" narrative, but Zach Branch reminds me a lot more of Bush's running style. He's got that same ability to cut or juke without losing any speed. The speed on the 2023 USC offense is gonna be fun.

[@Chiefland7]

umm... and therye still on the raleek brown hype train. the dude is sick. what are you saying lol

My raiders could use him right now 😂

[@ssd2751]

That stop and start on the punt return wooow

[@CJRealHoops1]

R.I.P to #36 at 1:30 😅. He actually read the play quite well from his Sam Linebacker position, but Branch made him SPIN in the open field. USC is getting one of the most shift tackler-evading athletes I've seen in years

[@andys.9996]

Dude has jaylen Waddle speed

[@bsooners24]

Tyreek Hills has posters on his wall of Branch

[@7USC7]

Smart kid to pick USC. They're building another dynasty there!!!!

[@QuickTreece]

1:01 Their coach has his arms up knowin' it's a tuddy at the 46 yard line. Dude is raw

[@ktownpeels]

He will have to work on ball position while carrying but that may be one of the only things for him to improve.. will be a really exciting player to watch

[@turner2397]

This dude is amazing ROLLTIDE

[@MasizoUrek]

Fight on! ✌️

[@IwantTarget]

He’s got first step step and speed his ability to run in diagonal ways on every type of catch are really his bread and butter but he’s got a lot of comfort in those cleats he looks good to USC, that’s a steal

[@lamelleevan6374]

USC . National championship

[@eugenekim7932]

This kid is like a blend of Stefon Diggs and Desean Jackson. Runs like Stefon but is effortlessly fast and shifty like Desean

[@noaim699]

very very excited to see him in cardinal & gold

[@redpillstepdad]

not a 5 star because other wide receivers project better to the nfl, but make no mistake, this is the best wr in the 2023 class.

[@brandonbrown7019]

This makes no sense… best WR but not a 5 star? Must be talkin bout his height. But with that type of speed, ball skills and elusiveness, don’t need to be tall

[@BirdGang6]

The team he scored on in the opening punt was McQueen High School, a school in Reno I used to sub at. They weren’t anything special but they had multiple division one athletes including their linebacker who ended up going in the first round of the MLB draft. He made them look like children, he has game changing speed on any level, Tyreek Hill esque

[@r7an55]

The juke at 1:31 is NASTY

[@hamptonsroyce2509]

Track, Track, Track. This kid is a legit 10.3 in the 100m probably at around 4.4 40 as a freshman

[@Tre.1k]

He’s tuff 🔥🔥🔥

[@BirdGang6]

Kids track speed fast, give him a summer in USC’s strength and conditioning program and set him loose on kicks and punt returns in the fall!

[@bomber360]

for sure

[@DPMixing]

As a sophomore too, a lot of senior state 100m champions don’t run 10.3 lol. And Zachariah’s running that as a soph and barely even trains for track. Crazy…

[@notyouraveragejoe2777]

Fastest wide receiver in the nation

[@Agendasss]

he’s like jaylen waddle

[@HeztheBarber]

He literally has that Trevor Lawrence ability at WR. Just a different player in a league of his own.

If Devin Hester and Tyriek Hill had a baby

[@princeace9547]

His decision making is crazy he has iq that you can’t coach

[@brandonbrown7019]

It’s called instincts, not IQ.. rushing is instinctual , not much time to think. Just catch the ball and go and let your speed and instincts take over.. n of course when u played your whole life, it’s starts to come natural with experience. But definitely not enough time to think
