A talented wide receiver for Alabama football is ready to turn it up in spring practice.
Isaiah Bond enters his sophomore season in the fall, but he comes off a freshman campaign where Crimson Tide fans got a glimpse of his speed and playmaking abilities as a vertical threat. He came in at 175 pounds in the 2022 recruiting class, but Bond added seven pounds in the Fourth Quarter Offseason Program, improving to 182 on his 5-foot-11 frame. As a former four-star from Buford (Ga.) High School, he played all 13 games last year for the Tide — including one start. Bond totaled 17 catches for 220 yards and a touchdown. He displayed his speed and deep threat abilities versus Arkansas with 76 receiving yards on two catches — including a 53-yard reception. Bond converted first downs on both plays against the Razorbacks.

He earned his first career touchdown catch in the Allstate Sugar Bowl versus Kansas State. Bond brought in a 6-yard pass from Bryce Young in the end zone. He’s put in work ahead of spring practice and hinted at a big spring for himself on social media. Bond said he put in great work in the Fourth Quarter Program, but he is ready to get spring football started.
