Georgia gained a better idea of what it will need to replace in 2026 on Monday, as the Bulldogs’ top pass-catcher Zachariah Branch and top tackler CJ Allen both declared their intentions to enter the 2026 NFL Draft.

They were joined by top receiving tight end Oscar Delp in announcing their moves on social media.

Branch, a 5-foot-10 wideout, transferred to Georgia after two seasons at Southern California and promptly established himself as the Bulldogs’ top receiving option. He recorded 81 receptions, 54 more than any other player on the roster last fall, compiling 811 yards and six touchdowns in the process.

He added 385 yards on 25 combined kick and punt returns.

Allen, a 6-foot-1 linebacker, paced Georgia with 88 combined tackles in 2025, a year after he nearly led the team with 76 tackles in 2024.

Over his career, Allen totaled 205 tackles to go along with 4.5 sacks and an interception in 41 career games. He also had 10 passes defended, two fumbles forced and a fumble recovery.

ESPN’s Mel Kiper Jr. ranks Branch as his No. 4 wide receiver and Allen as his No. 3 linebacker for the upcoming draft.

The 6-foot-5 Delp recorded 20 receptions for 261 yards last fall, tops among Georgia tight ends. He finished his Bulldogs career with 70 receptions for 854 yards and nine touchdowns.

Those three join defensive lineman Christen Miller, who announced his departure for the NFL on Saturday.
