A veteran defensive back appears to no longer be a member of the Auburn Tigers. Cayden Bridges has been removed from the team’s online roster. Brian Stultz of Rivals observed the change and tweeted the news Thursday.
ESPN stats shows 9 games in which Bridges recorded a defensive statistic in 2022. He logged 19 tackles, including 12 solo stops, on the season. Bridges also had a pass breakup in AU’s 13-10 win over Texas A&M.
Bridges redshirted in 2021, his first year on The Plains. He played in 3 games on special teams.
A former Magee (Mississippi) standout, Bridges signed with Auburn over offers from Mississippi State, South Alabama, Central Arkansas and Florida A&M. On the 247Sports composite rankings, Bridges was rated 3-stars, the No. 32 recruit in the state of Mississippi, No. 151 safety and No, 1,743 prospect overall in the Class of 2021.
Stultz points out that with Bridges’ exit, just 2 members of Auburn’s 2021 class signed under the former coaching staff remain on the team.
There are only two signees from the 2021 signing class left on Auburn's 2023 roster: Jarquez Hunter and Garner Langlo.
That speaks a ton about the previous staff. https://t.co/UMKoaontw6
