One of the fastest players Nick Saban has ever recruited will be at Alabama in the summer.
Isaiah Bond, a native of Buford, Ga., is preparing to drop jaws. As a four-star recruit, Bond was a two-sport phenom at Buford High School, juggling football and track. He won the Georgia 6A 100-meter dash (10.51) and 200-meter dash (21.19) for state championships. Bond recorded personal bests of 10.48 seconds (100 meters) and 21.05 seconds (200 meters). His speed on the track made him exceptional in creating separation from defensive backs. Bond excels as a route runner, but he can elevate for contested receptions too. The 5-foot-11, 175-pounder can play inside or outside at the position, despite his size as a receiver.

Fans are excited about Jermaine Burton and Tyler Harrell as transfers, but Bond is perfecting his skills in the offseason.

Alabama signed five talented receivers in this recent class, but is Bond the best of the group? Aaron Anderson and Kendrick Law impressed as early enrollees in spring practice. Kobe Prentice and Shazz Preston will arrive with Bond in the summer.
