Zachariah Branch Could Break a Georgia Football Record by the End of the 2025 Season

Georgia Bulldogs wide receiver Zachariah Branch is on the verge of breaking a longstanding team record for receptions in a single season. Branch, who transferred to Georgia ahead of the 2025 season, leads the team in receiving yards and has been instrumental in their successful campaign, positioning them as contenders for the College Football Playoff. With 63 receptions so far, Branch is just 14 catches away from surpassing the record of 73, set by Brice Hunter in 1993.

Branch's current performance ties him with former tight end Brock Bowers, who also had 63 catches in 2023. Given Branch's average of 6.6 receptions per game against Power Four opponents, he could potentially break the record in three games. Georgia's path to the College Football Playoff could give Branch up to five additional games to achieve this milestone.

The Bulldogs will face the Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets in Atlanta this Friday, with the game set for a 3:30 p.m.
