Five-star wide receiver recruit Zachariah Branch is the No. 2-ranked wide receiver in the Class of 2023.
The Las Vegas-native committed to play for USC in December and chose the Trojans over offers from Alabama, Ohio State and Oklahoma.Branch will get on campus in Los Angeles over the summer and will participate in fall practice. In the meantime, he is doing impressive things in the weight room while finishing up his high school degree.
Listed at 5-foot-10, 172 pounds, Branch is not a big prospect and will need to put on weight once he gets to the collegiate level. It doesn’t seem like that is going to be any issue because he is little bit of a freak of nature.
While on the squat rack on Thursday, Branch causally put up 515 pounds. That is one pound short of three times his body weight.
Branch basically walked into the squat rack, put three of himself on his shoulders and put it up. Although he had a spotter, obviously, it did not look like he received any help.
Take a look at the impressive feat from USC’s newest wide receiver:
Branch is the No. 14 overall prospect in his class after an impressive senior season. En route to a state championship, the Gaels pass-catcher had 47 receptions for 1,076 yards and 14 touchdowns.
He is going to step into the wide receiver room at USC and become an immediate weapon over the middle for Caleb Williams. Branch has remarkable strength for his size, which will allow him to take a hit or two in traffic.
