Alabama standout wide receiver Isaiah Bond is transferring to Texas, according to ESPN’s Pete Thamel. Bond told ESPN that Nick Saban’s retirement was 100% the reason for his departure.
“Just like the business world, you make the best decision for your company,” Bond told ESPN in a phone interview Sunday. “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.”
The 19-year-old led the Tide in catches this past season at 48—with four of them being for touchdowns—and tallied 668 receiving yards to boot. He joins a Longhorns team that made a College Football Playoff appearance this past season but were dispelled in the Sugar Bowl against Washington.
