Zachariah Branch is down to four schools.
The five-star 2023 wide receiver, one of Ohio State’s top targets at the position, put out a final four list of Ohio State, USC, Oklahoma, and Alabama on Wednesday evening. Coincidentally, it was the same night the 5-foot-9, 172-pound slot receiver was upgraded from a four- to five-star recruit by 247Sports, along with fellow 2023 wide receiver target Carnell Tate.
OSU visited Branch in his home Tuesday evening, while USC was at his residence on Wednesday evening. In an official capacity, both schools were there to recruit Zachariah’s elder brother Zion, a four-star safety, as in-home visits are currently only allowed with 2022 recruits.
