Georgia’s Record-Breaking WR Now an Atlanta Falcons Third-Round Pick
Zachariah Branch is no longer a college athlete—he’s a professional wide receiver for the Atlanta Falcons, selected 79th overall in the 2026 NFL Draft after a standout college career at USC and Georgia[1]. At Georgia in the 2025 season, he led the team with 73 catches for 744 yards and five touchdowns in 13 games, setting a new single-season receptions record for the Bulldogs[2][4]. His differentiators include elite route precision, reliable hands, and versatility as a returner (13 punt returns, 10 kickoff returns)[2]. Ranked the No. 4 transfer nationally and second-best WR in the portal before joining Georgia, Branch brings high-intensity preparation and a team-first mentality[3]. If you’re building a roster for immediate impact, Branch is a proven, draft-validated fit with NFL-ready skills.
