<a href="https://www.on3.com/college/texas-longhorns/">Texas</a> wide receiver <a href="https://www.on3.com/db/isaiah-bond-49370/">Isaiah Bond</a> has reportedly made his decision on his future. Bond is declaring for the 2025 NFL Draft, according to <a href="https://x.com/PeteThamel/status/1879164360188395884">ESPN’s Pete Thamel</a>.



Bond spent only one season at Texas after transferring in from <a href="https://www.on3.com/college/alabama-crimson-tide/">Alabama</a>. He battled injuries this season, while catching 34 passes for 540 yards and five touchdowns.

Over the course of his college career, Isaiah Bond caught 99 passes for 1,428 yards and 10 touchdowns. His best year came during the 2023 season when he caught 48 passes for 668 yards and four scores for the Crimson Tide.



Isaiah Bond had a disappointing ending to his career as he managed only four catches over his final four games while battling an ankle injury.



Prior to beginning his college football career, Bond was ranked as a four-star recruit, the No. 60 overall player in the country and the No. 7 receiver in the nation, <a href="https://www.on3.com/db/rankings/industry-player/football/2022/">per the On3 Industry Rankings</a>. He helped Alabama reach the <a href="https://www.on3.com/category/college-football-playoff/news/ ">College Football Playoff</a> in 2023 and Texas do the same in 2024. Now he is off to the NFL Draft.

Isaiah Bond is the second Texas star receiver to declare for the NFL Draft in as many days, joining fellow Longhorns wideout Matthew Golden, who did so on Monday.



Matthew Golden was a key piece of the Texas offense this season, helping lead the Longhorns to the <a href="https://www.on3.com/category/college-football-playoff/news/">College Football Playoff</a> semifinals. He finished the season with 58 receptions in 16 games. He had 987 receiving yards and averaged 17 yards per reception, making him an excellent deep threat. He also finished the season with nine touchdown receptions.



Prior to his one season with the Texas Longhorns, Matthew Golden played two seasons for the <a href="https://www.on3.com/college/houston-cougars/">Houston Cougars</a>. However, he made the decision to transfer out of the program following a coaching change there. His numbers at Texas were stronger across the board from either of his two seasons with the Cougars.



Matthew Golden also returned kicks during his college career. That included having two kick returns for touchdowns in 2023 with Houston. For his career, he averaged 25.8 yards per kick return. He did not, however, return punts.



Coming out of high school at <a href="https://www.on3.com/high-school/klein-cain-houston-tx-20002/">Klein Cain</a> in Houston, Texas, Matthew Golden was a four-star recruit in the <a href="https://www.on3.com/db/rankings/industry-player/football/2022/">Class of 2022</a>, according to the On3 Industry Ranking. He was also the 29th-ranked wide receiver and the 176th-ranked player nationally in his recruiting cycle. Now, he’ll be moving on to the NFL.
