Bridges had a breakout season in 2022, starting in all 13 games for the Ducks with a career-high 49 tackles, five defended passes, three interceptions, and a forced fumble. He earned an All-Pac-12 third-team selection from Pro Football Focus, but in 2023 was surpassed on the depth chart by sophomore Jahlil Florence.

Bridges still managed 16 tackles this past year, but will now seek a new program to call home ahead of the 2024 season.

Bridges played high school football at Lanett (AL), where he was a three-star prospect. He was the No. 425 overall recruit in the 2019 cycle, according to the On3 Industry Ranking, a weighted average that utilizes all four major recruiting media companies.

Trikweze Bridges ranks as the No. 21 safety according to On3’s Transfer Portal Rankings. It will be interesting to see whether he lands at Florida, where he would have one season of eligibility remaining.
