Alabama football brought in several talented wide receivers in its 2022 signing class, but one has taken off as a primary playmaker in this offense with Jalen Milroe under Tommy Rees.
Isaiah Bond, a former four-star, is having a good season.

A native Georgian, Bond leads the Crimson Tide in receptions (34) for 467 yards and three touchdowns. He averages 13.7 yards per catch and is the No. 2 option behind Jermaine Burton. Thanksgiving is Thursday, and Bond has helped the Tide advance to the Southeastern Conference Championship Game, where it will face Georgia on Saturday, Dec. 2 at Mercedes-Benz Stadium.
He knows Alabama has a College Football Playoff opportunity, but the sophomore receiver is thankful for his platform to encourage today’s youth in the Tuscaloosa (Ala.) community. Bond shared a photo of him on Twitter speaking to youth and encouraging students at a local elementary school. He captioned the photo, “Thanksgiving time be thankful for what you have.”
