One of the veteran-most players on the Oregon Ducks’ roster in 2023 has now found a new home, with cornerback Trikweze Bridges announcing on Monday morning that he would be committing to the Florida Gators for the final year of his eligibility.
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.
