Gregory Bridges '24 Recruiting Profile

I have a great love for football, but my grades and academics are priority.   My aspiration is to be in the medical field or business, so my grades are in the forefront in order to excel in medicine and business.  I am intelligent, disciplined and coach able.  My football journey began at 7 years of age, with the Tigers Pee Wee team out of Mansfield, TX.   The experience was fun but challenging.  I had excellent coaches and a supportive pee wee community.  Earning a Super bowl victory was our reward for our hard work.  During my pee wee football journey, I earned a black belt in Taekwondo.   I was one of a few 12 year olds to earn a black belt.   My Taekwondo education provided me with a foundation in  discipline; which directly influences my football journey. 

I am most proud of having a strong family support and personal coaches who have instilled in me, character, leadership and individuality.  I have always been a laid back person, but learned quickly that although I am laid back and friendly;  I have a love for all things tackle!  I love getting through the Offensive Line quickly and sacking the quarterback.   Because of my love of the tackle,  and my unique skill set,  my family calls me  "Quickness". Tackling is my love and I am very good at it;  but I would love to work more on the usage of my hands when blocking and tackling. I think once that skill set is developed, my level of play will elevate. 

I am so excited about what the future holds.   It is my hope that I can  continue to develop and grow in strength, academics and character,  with the right school,  athletic and academic program as my partners.
