Bond entered the transfer portal and departed Alabama after Nick Saban elected to retire following the 2023 season. Upon his arrival in Austin, he drew rave reviews for his speed and was set to be a key part of the Longhorn offense.
He was during the first few games of the season, notching 20 catches for 364 yards and three touchdowns in the first five games of the season, plus a rushing touchdown against Mississippi State. But an ankle injury suffered against Oklahoma put a damper on the rest of his campaign.
He reaggravated the injury in the SEC Championship, and caught one pass for eight yards in the last three contests of the season.
