The Wolverine’s EJ Holland was in Philadelphia over the weekend seeing On300 Michigan linebacker commit Semaj Bridgeman in game action.

Bridgeman recorded five tackles, half a sack, one pass breakup, a fumble recovery for a touchdown and and rushed for a touchdown en route to leading Philadelphia (Pa.) Imhotep to a 52-7 win over Philadelphia (Pa.) Mastery Charter in the Public School title game.

Watch game clips from the contest and get Holland’s analysis below.

Bridgeman committed to Michigan over offers from Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Oregon, Penn State, South Carolina, Tennessee and others in July.

“I picked Michigan because of the relationship me and Coach (George) Helow have,” Bridgeman said following his verbal pledge. “I also like the game plan they have and how I fit into their defense. They came down here to see me and showed effort.”

At 6-foot-1, 235 pounds, Bridgeman is ranked as the No. 23 linebacker and No. 276 overall prospect in the country, per the On3 Consensus.

Bridgeman has an On3 NIL Valuation of $27K with 5.2K followers across all platforms. The On3 NIL Valuation is an index that looks to set the standard market value for both high school and college-level athletes. The NIL valuation does not act as a tracker of the value of NIL deals an athlete has completed to date. It rather signifies an athlete’s value at a certain moment in time.
