Two key players for the Texas Longhorns in their very impressive 2024 season have opted to leave Austin and head to the NFL. Wide receiver Isaiah Bond and right tackle Cameron Williams both announced they are forgoing their eligibility and entering the 2025 NFL Draft.
Bond projects to be one of the fastest players in the coming draft. The 20-year-old played two seasons at Alabama before transferring to Texas and thrived early on for the Longhorns. He finished with 33 catches for 532 yards and five touchdowns in 12 games.
Bond is a potential first-round pick.
“I want to show teams they are getting the most explosive wide receiver in the draft,” Bond said via ESPN. “They are getting an eyepopper, a great, great athlete and a hard worker.”
Williams started 16 total games for Texas. The 21-year-old offers outstanding size, but he struggled down the stretch–notably in the CFP loss to Ohio State. Williams could potentially fit better as a guard in the NFL. He is currently projected to be a Day 2 pick, subject to testing and interviews.
