Georgia Bulldogs playmaking wide receiver Zachariah Branch is set to enter the 2026 NFL Draft.
Georgia Bulldogs standout wide receiver Zachariah Branch has officially declared for the 2026 NFL Draft, announcing his decision on social media, bringing his collegiate career to a close. Branch, who transferred to Georgia in 2025 after playing at USC for two seasons, became Bulldogs top receiving threat.
In one season with Georgia, the 5’10” playmaker led them with 81 catches for 811 yards and six touchdowns. He showcased his explosive playmaking ability and versatility as both a receiver and return specialist. Expect him to do the same at the NFL level.
His NFL comparison is much like what Deebo Samuel offers. He can play anywhere on offense from slot, outside receiver, to gadget guy. Also, he is dangerous like Samuel in the return game and open space. He will be a Day 2 pick if not slide into Day 1.
