USC lands 2023 4-star WR Branch

Lincoln Riley has made another splash for USC.

Four-star wide receiver Zachariah Branch committed to the Trojans' 2023 class Friday, according to Shehan Jeyarajah of CBS Sports.

Branch, the third-best wideout in 2023, is currently the No. 16 overall prospect in the class, per ESPN Junior 300.

"I feel like USC was always home for me, and I feel more than comfortable with my decision," Branch said, according to Blair Angulo of 247Sports. "I definitely see things there are about to change. The culture, the energy, the vibe is different, and you can feel it being around the staff, the new coaches, and the players. You can just tell a different switch has turned on."

The Nevada native is the third top-21 recruit to join the Trojans in 2023 after five-star quarterback Malachi Nelson and four-star pass-catcher Makai Lemon.
