Formal Alabama’s Top WR Isaiah Bond announce 100% recommitment ,”Confessed he was forced by Because Nick Saban to Retire…………
Isaiah Bond is going from one College Football Playoff team to another.
ESPN’s Pete Thamel reported the former Alabama wide receiver transferred to Texas on Sunday. Bond told Thamel it was a “business decision” and “100 percent” driven by former Crimson Tide head coach Nick Saban’s decision to retire, which opened up a 30-day transfer window for players on the current roster.
“Just like the business world, you make the best decision for your company,” Bond said. “My company right now is my draft stock. I feel like I’m putting myself in position to increase that and have better draft stock.”
He also pointed to his relationship with Texas head coach Steve Sarkisian and the return of Longhorns quarterback Quinn Ewers as factors in his destination.
“He’s a great big-time pocket passer quarterback,” Bond said of Ewers. “He’s a top pick in the draft next year. I’m also going to be a top pick. It’s going to be a good duo.”
This is quite the loss for Alabama, as nobody on the 2023 team had more receptions than Bond’s 48. He also finished with 668 receiving yards and four touchdowns.
