Bridges also considered Alabama, Michigan State and Ohio State during his transfer portal recruitment, visiting schools and hosting in-home visits. Bridges visited Waco this week and was sold on what Scott Drew has to offer at Baylor.
Bridges, a Fairmont native, spent three years at WVU, playing in two seasons and 61 games. The 6-foot-7 forward averaged 8.4 points, 4.8 rebounds, 0.8 assists, 1.0 steals and 0.7 blocks through 33 games this past season.
The 6-foot-7 forward moved into the starting lineup halfway through the 2020-21 season after Oscar Tshiebwe left. Bridges helped the Mountaineers solidify their new lineup in the middle of the season as they earned a 3-seed in the 2021 NCAA Tournament.
Bridges will have three years of eligibility remaining and will return to play against West Virginia a couple of times.
