One of Arizona’s top young talents is heading to Prolific Prep.

Bruce Branch III, a 6’7” Class of 2027 wing, has transferred to the powerhouse California program after two strong seasons at Perry High School in Gilbert, AZ.

Branch earned MaxPreps Sophomore All-America Honorable Mention honors after averaging 11.2 points, 5.3 rebounds, and 3.9 assists per game, helping Perry capture its fourth straight state title. The team also finished #4 in the nation in the final MaxPreps Top 25 rankings.

With size, versatility, and a developing all-around game, Branch is poised to be a breakout name this season on the national stage.
