One of the men resurfaced but the other did not.
The body of 25-year-old Cameron Birdsong of Live Oak was recovered by dive teams around 6 p.m. on Thursday, the sheriff's office said.
Deputies noted that the men were known to have jumped from the bridge before.
A dive team from Sutter County, along with other agencies, responded to help with a nearly 48-hour search for the missing man.
