(UPDATE: Bridges has enrolled at West Virginia as of Tuesday and is listed on the team’s official roster.)
FAIRMONT, W.Va. — Jalen Bridges is staying home.
The 6-foot-7 Fairmont native announced Monday afternoon his commitment to West Virginia University after sorting through an impressive and lengthy list of Division I offers.
“It’s a really great opportunity,” Bridges said. “It’s a great decision for me and my family and I’m playing for the whole state now.”
Bridges, a 2019 graduate of Fairmont Senior High School, enrolled Tuesday at West Virginia and is expected to redshirt this season.
