Direct or Prep: 2025 Army Football recruiting class

Saying Stroman Bridges is fired to start his Army football career could be an understatement.

Bridges, an incoming freshman running back from Midland, Texas, posted a video of hang-clean lift of 355 pounds earlier this week.

R-Day is upon us. Bridges and West Point freshmen report Monday for Beast Barracks (boot camp).

Here’s a list of Army’s 2025 recruiting class and if they are going directly to West Point and attending Army Prep this fall. If we haven’t confirmed your destination, message us on X/Twitter @BKKnightNation
