Bridger is a complete backer and has good cover skills. He’s instinctual, and watching him work in space and backpeddling, he doesn’t get lost in space and doesn’t allow too much room for a receiver that comes into his zone. He has a natural feel in coverage and has a quick reactionary skill set. He disrupted many passing windows and made quarterbacks have to reset and look elsewhere. He made several key plays, including a big-time interception. He is a player who should get D1 offers and is one of the better backers in the 2028 class.

Young has come into Davis and made an immediate impact. He is instinctual, moves well, has a good burst, and does well disengaging from his blocks and getting to the ball carrier. He’ll be an important part of the Davis defense

Young transfers in from Corner Canyon and he should be part of that rotation as a backer and potential edge rusher as well. He is an athletic mover who has good bend at the hip and the ability to rush the passer. As an off-ball backer, he does a good job of getting into passing lanes and disrupting the flow of the opposing signal caller, he should have a productive season.

Read EvaluationAndy Pham | Prep Redzone Scout
Young has an exceptional frame to add 15-20 lbs and a tremendous wingspan. He plays the game with excellent technique and he deciphers plays quickly. His processing and reactionary skills allow him to be near the ball where he can make a play on it. Young does a good job at shedding his blocks and getting small through the line to get into the backfield. He has good speed and shows excellent closing speed. He is a player with great footwork and the ability to play all three backer roles and ideally would make an excellent MKE backer with his traits. He’s a prospect who should get the eyes of Power-Four programs and should be recruited as such, Young is a talented Linebacker with a bright future.

has laid claim on being a physical linebacker with range already in his young career. Big bro is a senior in high school that is blazing a trail for him to follow at the same position. Even though those D1 offered haven’t stacked up this early yet. Trust me they are coming down the road. Bridger has a high football IQ with a knack to find the ball. His game consists of various highlights- shooting gaps to blow up the ball carrier for negative yardage, securing the tackle in open field, high pointing a ball for a interception, or laying wood to create space between the player and the ball. I really like his tenacity and high motor. Having a solid frame to build upon doesn’t hurt either.
