Skinny: Bridges is a rangy receiver with good height and speed as well as a knack for making big plays. He scored 17 touchdowns as a junior, and says he enjoys nothing more than beating a corner one-on-one for a score.
“That’s my game,” he said. “I like playing defense too -- I'm pretty good in coverage -- but offense is my favorite. I want the ball in my hands. I like to make things happen.”
Schools taking notice of that playmaking ability include Georgia, Ole Miss, Alabama and Auburn.
“I’ve always liked Georgia growing up,” he said. “They’re on top of the SEC right now. I could see myself being part of that.”
Bridges has yet to decide which summer camps he will attend.
