Georgia wide receiver Zachariah Branch, who had been tipped by many to be an early-round draft pick later this week, was arrested by police in the early hours of Sunday morning.
Athens-Clarke County police arrested him for obstructing public sidewalks/streets-prowling and obstruction of a law enforcement officer, according to a report by Athens Banner-Herald.
The incident couldn’t really come at a worse time. Branch had been projected by many to be a late first-round or early second-round pick at the draft in Pittsburgh later this week. But his arrest could now see his position take a big slide.
Branch, 22, has held visits with the Atlanta Falcons and Las Vegas Raiders as well as Zoom meetings with another 20 teams in the NFL.
Branch transferred to Georgia last year after two seasons with USC Trojans.
