LSU hires Tulane Assistant Justin Bridgman for player development

By Matt Moscona

Jay Johnson has added a Tulane assistant to his support staff at LSU.

Justin Bridgman has been hired in a player development role, according to a report from Andrew Riedell.

Bridgman and Johnson have a long history together. Johnson recruited Bridgman to Nevada, where he coached the infielder for two seasons before accepting the Arizona job. Bridgman got his coaching start as a graduate assistant under Johnson at Arizona in 2020 and spent two seasons at Cal Poly before joining the Green Wave.
