Breaking news: Alabama Loses Star Receiver To Transfer Portal After Nick Saban Retirement
Alabama is already experiencing a glimpse of what life would be like without Nick Saban at the helm. Recently, Isaiah Bond has taken a significant step by submitting his paperwork to join the NCAA transfer portal.
The news of Bond’s entry into the transfer portal was initially reported by Matt Zenitz of 247Sports.
Bond, a talented sophomore wide receiver, showcased his potential by becoming a dependable playmaker for the Crimson Tide during the 2023 season. He amassed an impressive stat line, recording 48 receptions for 668 yards and contributing four touchdowns to the team’s success.
The potential departure of Bond through the transfer portal could deal a severe blow to Alabama’s receiving
corps, as his services and abilities will be much missed.
It’s important to remember that Bond may be considering his alternatives as Alabama looks to replace its head coach. He may have made his choice in part due to the unpredictability of the coaching position.
ESPN’s Pete Thamel has revealed that Alabama is seriously considering Washington coach Kalen DeBoer for the position of head coach. Among the many achievements in DeBoer’s stellar resume is his recent 14-1 record as head coach of the Huskies.
The Crimson Tide can start taking care of any recruit and transfer-related difficulties as soon as they have a head coach for the 2024 campaign. The program will traverse an uncertain period until that pivotal choice is made.
