Longhorns Officially Sign WR Isaiah Bond, Reveal New Jersey Number

Bond will wear No. 7 next season, switching from the No. 17 he wore at Alabama. His nickname of “007” of course pairs fittingly with his last name. He now has the jersey number to make it all work.

Here’s the announcement:

Around the time of his signing, Bond posted a picture of him with Texas coach Steve Sarkisian and threw up the “Hook ‘Em.”

Take a look:

The addition of Bond potentially gives Texas its leading receiver for next season, so the hype surrounding his arrival to Austin on Saturday was real. Longhorns fans went wild with speculation on social media, with many saying they felt the team had already secured the commitment behind closed doors due to how swiftly Bond came to the Forty Acres after entering the portal.

In two seasons at Alabama, Bond posted 65 catches, 888 receiving yards and five total touchdowns. He now brings SEC-ready production to the Longhorns ahead of their first season in the legendary conference.
