Trikweze Bridges, a 4th-year cornerback for the Oregon Ducks, announced that he has entered the transfer portal. His diminished role on defense from 2022 to 2023 is likely what led to his transfer.
In four seasons with the Ducks, Bridges played in 42 games and recorded 90 tackles, 4 INTs, and forced 2 fumbles. As I alluded to above, Bridges’ role on this year’s Ducks team is much smaller than in 2022. Last season, Bridges played 704 snaps, but only played 205 in 2023.
Oregon’s strong recruitment at the CB position in recent years is another factor that may have contributed to Bridges’ transfer. This year, the CB2 spot was taken by sophomore Jahlil Florence, and there are a lot of other young CBs on the Ducks roster that could’ve made it hard for Bridges to crack the starting lineup in his final year.
At 6’3″ and 198 lbs., Bridges was recruited in the class of 2019 as a 3-star CB. During his high school recruitment, Bridges showed a lot of interest in the Florida State Seminoles and the Alabama Crimson Tide (Bridges is originally from Lanett, Alabama), so look out of for those schools as potential stopping points for the fifth-year CB.
