The Georgia Bulldogs have offered a scholarship to three-star defensive back Daran Branch. Branch is currently an Ole Miss Rebels commitment, but has not signed his Letter of Intent yet. Branch is 2020 prospect, so he may be reconsidering his commitment to Ole Miss.
Georgia Bulldogs offensive line coach Matt Luke originally recruited Branch back when Luke was the head coach at Ole Miss. Branch played football for Amite High School in Amite, Louisiana. He most recently took an official visit to Southern Mississippi, so his recruitment may not be done yet.
His original commitment to Ole Miss occurred while Luke was still head coach. Is he reconsidering? New Rebels coach Lane Kiffin will certainly try to keep Branch in the fold, but it is hard to compete with an excellent defensive recruiter in Kirby Smart.
Branch was excited to receive a scholarship offer from UGA, even though it is late in the process:

Will Branch be the latest SEC West commitment to flip to Georgia? He’d help fill in one of the remaining slots in Georgia’s impressive class of 2020.
