Boca Raton, FL- Breaking News: St. Thomas Aquinas (FL) 3-Star WR, Branden Hoch announces his commitment Florida Atlantic University!

Hoch made his verbal commitment public this afternoon (June 14) via his social media accounts:

Hoch, a 6 foot 3 receiver chose the Owls over Power-4 programs such as Miami (FL) and Ole Miss. FAU officially offered Hoch on May 25, 2024. Branden recently took an Official Visit to Paradise from June 6-9.

When asked about what led to his commitment, Branden shared:

“I chose FAU because the new coaching staff is top tier, and they made my family feel welcomed from the moment we stepped on campus. I’m truly blessed to be an Owl.”

Branden Hoch is an elite receiver that’ll make a Day One impact for FAU. His size plus natural athleticism will be a red-zone nightmare for opposing DB’s.

Owls Head Coach, Tom Herman has been making waves with his 2025 recruiting class. Hoch is now the eleventh FAU commit in this class, joining him with the likes of 3-Star QB Jordan Magwood and RB Ethan Ervin.
