The Branch Brothers are visiting Miami today

The Holiday dead period is now over, and the Miami Hurricanes have some big-name visitors on campus. USC transfers WR Zachariah Branch and S Zion Branch are in Miami today.

The 5'10, 175-pound Zachariah is one of the most dynamic players in the country, with a 10.33 100M, 21.01 200M, 24-0 long jump and 46-4.25 triple jump. He was an All-American punt returner as a freshman with two TDs, and amassed 47 receptions, 503 yards and a TD this season as a receiver.

His brother Zion is a 6'2, 210-pound safety who made 15 tackles with 3 passes deflected and a sack in 2024. He missed 2022 with an injury from fall camp. He was also injured late in 2023, which ended that season.

The brothers were the first college football players to sign an NIL deal with Jordan Brand. They have NFL royalty in their family, as their great uncle is Raiders legend Cliff Branch. In their free time, the brothers created the Branch Out Foundation, a nonprofit organization dedicated to supporting youth initiatives including homelessness, after-school programs, health and wellness as well as other charitable causes.

Agree with the poster that said hes not wasting his time visiting unless something was told to him regarding a potential QB coming.. These kids are smart..im sure he googled' Emory highlights and LOL'd out of his seat. Hes not coming here to have Emory throw him the ball. So something is brewing and Mario must have let him in on the secret. Branch doesnt have time to play around and take "vacation/courtesy/leverage" visits. All business.

it could be we have nothing brewing at QB right now but gave him a big NIL offer and wants to check it out.

What comes first under Mario? A punt return for a TD or a blocked punt?

Both at the same time…

I think you guys are overstating the "who are we selling him at QB" thing. A lot of kids will come for money and playing time (most importantly money). Tulane had a HUGE question mark at QB heading into last year, but still landed Mario Williams from USC. Mario had similar numbers at USC that Branch did. Williams ended up with 60 catches for 1,031 yards and 6 TD this year for Tulane.
