USC adds commitment from 4-star safety Zion Branch

Four-star safety Zion Branch announced his commitment to USC on Wednesday.

The Las Vegas native picked the Trojans over offers from Oklahoma and Ohio State.

Branch is the fifth-rated safety and No. 76 overall prospect for 2022 on the ESPN 300.

The Bishop Gorman High School product was a star both on the gridiron and as a track athlete during his career there.

Trojans head coach Lincoln Riley scores another victory on the recruiting trail just a couple of weeks after being hired away from Oklahoma.

Branch joins a USC class that features running back Raleek Brown and cornerback Fabian Ross. The Trojans currently have seven commitments in the 2022 cycle.
