Bridges heads to Gainesville for his 6th year of college football made possible by the NCAA’s COVID-19 waiver for 2020. The former Lanett (Alabama) standout was part of Oregon’s 2019 recruiting class, redshirting his first season with the Ducks.

Over the past 4 seasons, Bridges recorded 90 tackles, including 2.5 for loss, with 9 passes defended, including 4 interceptions. His best season came in 2022.

Bridges was a 13-game starter for Oregon last year. He logged 49 total tackles, including a TFL, and 5 passes defended with 3 interceptions.

This past season, Bridges saw his role reduced. He appeared in 13 games, logging 16 total tackles with 3 passes defended.
