Every recruiting cycle, a number of Power 5 caliber athletes go undiscovered due to playing in areas with low exposure, inability to get travel to camps, or injuries that limit film evaluations. That’s likely to be even more true this cycle given the on campus visit restrictions and the lack of recruiting camps due to COVID-19 restrictions.
3-star safety Cayden Bridges was almost one of those prospects. The 6’2” 190 lb safety plays in Magee, MS, a town in south Mississippi with a population size of just over 4,000. Despite recording 52 tackles, 6 TFL, a sack, 4 INTs, 8 pass breakups while also catching 44 passes for 606 yards and 7 touchdowns, just two weeks ago, Bridges only held offers from Central Arkansas and Florida A&M.
