Jordan HammWhile navigating the most unique offseason ever, many top recruits in Arizona and across the country have moved their timelines up to make their commitments.
That doesn’t seem to be the case for Skyline defensive back Zeke Branham.
The 6-foot-2, 210-pound defensive back holds offers UNLV, NAU, Montana State, Yale, Army, Ball State, Columbia, Fresno State, New Mexico, Air Force, Abilene Christian, UC Davis, Lehigh, New Mexico State, Eastern Michigan, Penn, Dartmouth and Princeton.
Despite being unable to visit in person for the foreseeable future, Branham would like to get on campus to check out some schools and parts of the country he is not familiar with.
While he wouldn’t reveal a leader among his offers, he said the Ivy League schools are recruiting him hardest and the fact they are not planning to have a 2020 season does not impact their stock as a destination. In addition to his laundry list of offers, he said schools like Arizona, Stanford and Tulane have been recruiting him as well.
