Ex-Texas WR Isaiah Bond targets 40 record: ‘Might run a 4.1’

Isaiah Bond

INDIANAPOLIS — Isaiah Bond is ready to run down records and fly past another former Texas Longhorns wide receiver at the NFL Scouting Combine.

Bond said Friday morning at the Indianapolis Convention Center he is ready to make headlines when wide receiver workouts begin across the street at Lucas Oil Stadium on Saturday.

“I’m going to break the record tomorrow, for sure,” Bond said. “I anticipate running 4.20 or possibly, if I’m feeling great, I might run a 4.1.”

The standing mark of 4.21 seconds was set last year by Kansas City Chiefs first-round pick Xavier Worthy, another Texas wide receiver.

Bond, 20, transferred to Texas before the 2024 season after starting his college career at Alabama. His track background long has been evident on the field, but his hands aren’t always as reliable as Worthy’s. In 2024, he caught 34 passes for 540 yards with five touchdowns and touched 22 mph on a 51-yard TD catch against Texas-San Antonio. Two of his five touchdowns last season came against UTSA.

“I’ve been running my whole life,” Bond said. “I’ve been one of the fastest my whole life so I’m going to go out there and when practice meets preparation, greatness is achieved. So I’m just going to trust my training and put on a show.”

Bond was a track star and high school All-American wide receiver in Georgia. He won the Georgia 6A 100-meter (10.51) and 200-meter (21.19) state titles as a junior and has personal bests of 10.48 (100 meters) and 21.05 (200 meters).

Bond started 12 games and played in 27 at Alabama. He led the Crimson Tide with 48 receptions for 668 yards in 2023.
