Expert Analysis
Connor Jackson | Prep Redzone Scout
Impressive looking prospect up around 6’3 215. Holds an offer from Georgia State. Makes good use of his arms, consistently winning with an arm-over move. He flashes his chest and consistently gets blockers to reach. Uses his length to create leverage and extension when attacking inside shoulder. Decent bend and developing explosiveness. His ability to win with nuance and his length is what impresses me the most. He is on the radar for D1 coaches and could see more of those opportunities come his way this spring.

One of the more underrated pass-rushers and overall EDGE defenders south of Atlanta, Bridges is coming off a giant junior season last fall where he made 63 tackles, 22 TFLs and 11 sacks. He explodes off the snap, shows quick, violent hands, and has enough athleticism to dip under offensive tackles to attack the quarterback. He moves well at 6-foot-2 205-pounds and knows how to wrap up properly when taking down the ball-carrier. He’s one of the more underrated defenders in the area and has more than enough talent to find a place to play at the next level.
