Texas wide receiver Isaiah Bond is leaving school early to enter the 2025 NFL Draft, he told ESPN's Pete Thamel.

"I want to show teams they are getting the most explosive wide receiver in the draft," Bond said.

Noted for his breakaway speed, Bond recorded 34 catches for 540 yards and six total touchdowns in his lone season with Texas. The junior wideout was hampered by a high ankle sprain he sustained in the Longhorns' October win against Oklahoma.

He reaggravated the injury in the SEC Championship game and missed the first round of the CFP due to the nagging ailment.

Bond played for Alabama from 2022-23 before transferring to Texas. He caught 99 passes for 1,428 yards and four TDs in his collegiate career.

Bond becomes the second Longhorns receiver to turn pro in as many days after Matthew Golden announced his intention to leave the program. Quarterback Quinn Ewers is also expected to turn pro.

Offensive tackle Cameron Williams also declared for the NFL draft Tuesday, per Thamel. He's projected to be one of the top prospects along the offensive line this spring along with teammate Kelvin Banks Jr.
