Auburn has made another addition to its 2021 class on National Signing Day.
Magee (Mississippi) defensive back Cayden Bridges signed with the Tigers on Wednesday, flipping his pledge from South Alabama.
Bridges pledged to the Jaguars on Jan. 23 but that was before he received offers from Mississippi State and Auburn. Wednesday’s signing was reported as a decision between the Bulldogs and Tigers.
Bridges is listed at 6-2, 190 pounds and rated 3-stars, the No. 32 Mississippi recruit and No. 150 safety on the 247Sports Composite.
Auburn’s signing announcement (below) includes some of Bridges’ highlight plays. He is commitment No. 16 (including Northwestern transfer Andrew Leota) in AU’s 2021 class.
