00:00 As we expected following the retirement of legendary Alabama football coach Nick Saban,
00:06 there has been some roster movement for the Crimson Tide.
00:09 A big piece of that Tide team that closed out Saban's tenure in the playoffs has decided
00:13 to leave Tuscaloosa despite Saban's efforts to get him to stick around.
00:18 Isaiah Bond, the leading receiver for the Tide, jumped in the portal right away and
00:22 come Sunday morning announced his commitment to Steve Sarkeesian and the Texas Longhorns.
00:28 This past season, Bond racked up a team-high 48 catches along with 668 yards and 4 scores.
00:36 The Beaufort, Georgia native will forever be known as the "Iron Bowl Hero" as he caught
00:40 the game-winning touchdown in the corner of the end zone as time expired to keep the Tide's
00:45 playoff hopes alive last season.
00:48 Bond called his move to Austin a "business decision" and stated he feels he is putting
00:53 himself in the best position to increase his draft stock.
00:57 Leading Bond fills a huge role for Texas, who just lost the majority of their playmakers
01:02 on offense to the NFL Draft in Xavier Worthy, Adonai Mitchell, Jordan Whittington, and Jutavion
01:09 Sanders.
01:10 With the mixture of Matthew Golden, John Tae Cook, Ryan Wingo, and now Bond, the Longhorns
01:15 might arguably have the most talented wide receiver group in the SEC and even the country.
