The Tennessee Vols are one of the programs that are hoping to land a commitment from USC transfer wide receiver Zachariah Branch and his brother, safety Zion Branch. 

Tennessee is need of wide receivers after losing several receivers to the NCAA transfer portal. Additionally, wide receiver Dont'e Thornton is off to the NFL after spending the last two seasons at UT. 

According to On3, the Branch brothers are visiting the Miami Hurricanes on Thursday. 

Zachariah is a former five-star recruit while Zion is a former four-star recruit. 

In two seasons at USC, Zachariah has 78 receptions for 823 yards and three touchdowns. The 5-foot-10 wide receiver is one the most coveted players in the NCAA transfer portal. 

Tennessee is working to set up a visit with the Branch brothers, though nothing has been worked out quite yet. 

The Vols, however, could have a good shot to land the Branch brothers if the program is able to get them on campus for a visit. 

Zachariah played with Vols quarterback Nico Iamaleava in the Polynesian Bowl two years ago. And former Vols wide receiver Cedric Tillman ran track at Bishop Gorman High School for Branch's dad

Georgia, Arizona State, and Texas are also in the mix for the Branch brothers.
