Monken added that the brass at West Point seeks young men like Bridges who wish to take on challenges in all aspects of their life. "We have identified you as one of the finest leaders of your generation," he said.
According to Black Knight Nation, Bridges has been an avid viewer of the Army-Navy game each year with his father. Having played various positions such as quarterback, slotback, and wide receiver, he visited West Point in the spring. Following the visit, he decided to commit verbally to offensive line coach Mike Viti. It is anticipated that he will be positioned at the slot.
"Army is recruiting me to play whatever position I want to play. They really appreciate my ability to play multiple positions," said Bridges. He further noted that his high school operates a similar triple option offense and he sees himself fitting perfectly with Army's strategy. He expressed great satisfaction with his visit and admiration for the coaches. "I knew that’s where I wanted to go," stated Bridges. He also lauded Midland High for having what he believes is "the best high school football weight program in the country."
According to Hudl.com, Bridges is entering his senior season as quarterback and slotback for Midland High School. He is listed at six-foot and 190 pounds and runs the 40-yard-dash in 4.5 seconds, benches 300 pounds and squats 450 pounds.
