Junior wide receiver Isaiah Bond didn't participate in the Senior Day walkthrough ceremonies for the Longhorns' regular season home finale last weekend against Kentucky. There was only one non-senior for the Longhorns who participated in those ceremonies for the Senior Day walkthrough at DKR.

Bond is expected to be one of Texas's underclassmen who has a big decision to make for the upcoming 2025 NFL Draft this upcoming offseason in the spring. Among the first three underclassmen on this list for the Longhorns with upcoming NFL Draft decisions next spring, I think Bond and Banks are the most likely to decide to leave early for next year's class.

The type of speed that Bond brings to the table makes him an intriguing choice for NFL scouts and future teams that could select him in the draft to consider looking at him for the first round.

In last year's NFL Draft, the Kansas City Chiefs selected Texas wide receiver Xavier Worthy late in the first round with the 32nd overall pick. Like Worthy, Bond's speed and productive season at Texas before entering the draft could help him get selected late in the first round on Day 1.

Bond and fellow junior Texas wide receiver Matthew Golden both have one year of eligibility remaining. Golden has come on strong for the Longhorns down the stretch, leading the team in receiving touchdowns.

Up until he suffered an ankle injury in the Red River Rivalry game against Oklahoma, Bond was leading the team in targets and receiving yards.
