The No. 4 rated safety in the 2022 class has trimmed his list to a top-five and Ohio State has made the cut. Zion Branch is a highly coveted defender who would fit well in the current Buckeye recruiting class.
Branch is from Bishop Gorman high school in Las Vegas, which is the same school that brought OSU Tate Martell and Haskell Garrett. The Nevada product has good size with a frame to add more and is an all-around excellent defender.
Ohio State is joined by four other blue bloods in Branch’s final five including Alabama, Clemson, Oklahoma, and USC. As of now, 247Sports have most of the crystal ball predictions going to the Buckeyes.

Ryan Day and company would love to land two more at the position of safety. The Bucks are still hot on the trail of the No. 5 ranked safety in the country, Xavier Nwankpa, who also happens to have most crystal ball predictions to Ohio State.
Adding one of these guys would be a home run. Adding both would be a grand slam in a class that is already No. 1 in the country.
