Texas | Hometown: Buford, GA | HT: 5105 | WT: 185 | 40 time: 4.37 | Hand: 0812 | Arm: 3012 | Wing: 7600
Junior entry, two-year starter. A two-year career at Alabama which ended with him leading the Crimson Tide in receiving as a sophomore in 2023 brought him to Texas in 2024 as a transfer. The sudden burst and ability to snap out of his breaks gives the slightly undersized playmaker the ability to find space and separate. He can create something out of nothing anytime he touches the ball because of how fast he can accelerate and outrun angles by defenders. Has a few special speed-based traits which the NFL will love, but the other important components to the position are where he struggles. Bond does not cope well against contact both at the line and with the ball in the air. His ball skills are inconsistent, and he does not play with enough urgency.. Balanced and sudden burst. Minimal wasted motion as a route runner and with the ball in his hands. Creates space and knows how to move at different tempos. Excellent vision and elusiveness after the catch. Finds vacancy in coverage against zone. Quick to turn north post-catch. Lacks size and play strength to factor against bigger, physical defensive backs. Ball location is delayed, notably on vertical routes. Inconsistent urgency as a route runner. Does not come back to the ball aggressively. Bond is not balanced enough to be a true number one threat, but he can be a complement to a passing game that needs more explosiveness.
