Yesterday, Georgia concluded its annual G-Day spring game, and its 2025 WR veteran, Zachariah Branch, saw it all unfold from the sidelines. He remained in attendance throughout the scrimmage, signed autographs, and took pictures with UGA fans. But just hours later, early Sunday morning, he shockingly had a run-in with the law.
According to reports, Branch was booked on Sunday on one charge of obstructing public sidewalks/streets and one charge of prowling. Whereas his other charge is obstruction of a law enforcement official. Both charges, though, are misdemeanors, and authorities released Branch on a $39 bond at around 3:44 a.m. ET. Georgia hasn’t released a statement yet, but Kirby Smart still had a ‘caution’ message for his players after the team’s spring scrimmage.
“Be safe tonight. And be smart,” Smart told DJ Shockley on UGA’s spring game broadcast. “Be your brother’s keeper and take care of each other.”
Former Georgia WR Zachariah Branch was arrested in Athens on Sunday.
Branch is expected to be drafted in this week’s NFL draft, which begins on Thursday: https://t.co/6NymMbRLJQ
