2020 Recruiting Highlight: Jalen Bridges
With the 2019 recruiting class coming to a close, it’s time to shift our focus to the next crop of prospects that could be suiting up in Champaign. There will be two areas of focus for the 2020 class: guards and wings. And at the top of that list, you’ll find Jalen Bridges.
A 6-foot-6, 175-pound wing out of Fairmont, West Virginia, Bridges wrestled with the decision of classifying in the 2019 class, but opted to do a prep year at Scotland Campus in Pennsylvania.
247Sports lists him as a four-star product and the No. 107 player in the class. He currently holds offers from West Virginia, Xavier, Penn State, TCU and the Illini, among others.
