  • It’s time to get excited about Weston Bridges

    All the talk has been about Connor Heyward as Scott’s backup, but Bridges is clearly making an impression and being compared to Jeremy Langford is incredibly high praise.

The other six backfield teammates behind him have combined for zero carries for the Spartans.

His fraternal twin brother, William, played all over the field and excelled on defense. But Weston, who amassed 3,583 rushing yards and 63 total touchdowns in 29 high school games, found his one true football calling. “I love touchdowns,” he says. “I love scoring.
