Oregon defensive back Trikweze Bridges enters NCAA transfer portal

Oregon safety Trikweze Bridges has entered the NCAA transfer portal, On3 has learned.

After redshirting then recording just two tackles in the shortened 2020 season, Bridges appeared in all 13 of Oregon’s games in 2021 and recorded three starts. During that season he’d play 282 on defense and 123 on special teams, recording 26 total tackles, two defended passes, one interception, one forced fumble and one tackle for loss.

His breakout season would come 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.
