Texas coach Steve Sarkisian wasted no time focusing on receiver Isaiah Bond, the Alabama receiver, when Bond officially entered the NCAA Transfer Portal on Friday.

Sarkisian made a beeline to Bond’s Georgia home the very day he entered the portal. The next day, Bond was on an official visit to Austin.

And the day following that? Bond decided to become a Longhorn.

Bond made 48 catches for 668 yards and four TDs in 2023 for the Crimson Tide. He is known for his elite speed, winning the Georgia state 100- and 200-meter in high school.

Bond is the second receiver Sark has identified and recruited from the transfer portal this campaign, following the earlier commitment of Houston’s Matthew Golden, himself also noted for his elite speed.

Sark is busy replacing a ton of production in his receiving corps. His top five pass catchers from last year are all headed to the NFL. Not only wide receivers Xavier Worthy, Adonai Mitchell and Jordan Whittington, but also JT Sanders and Jonathon Brooks.
