Report: Isaiah Bond Accused of Sexual Assault, Mike Tomlin Still Believes and Begins Recruiting Process…vannguyen

On April 10, 2025, the American football world was shocked when Isaiah Bond, a former wide receiver for the Texas Longhorns and a top candidate for the 2025 NFL Draft, was accused of sexual assault. Bond turned himself in to the Frisco, Texas, police after a warrant was issued for his arrest in connection with the allegation, according to NFL Media. He posted $25,000 bail and was released shortly thereafter. In a statement on X, Bond called the allegations “completely false” and expressed his desire to prove his innocence. The incident occurred just two weeks before the NFL Draft, where Bond is expected to be a second- or third-round pick.

Despite the scandal, Pittsburgh Steelers coach Mike Tomlin has expressed confidence in Bond. Tomlin, who had publicly praised Bond during the draft, has reportedly begun the formal recruiting process despite the controversy. Bond had meetings with several teams, including the Steelers, Browns, Packers, Chiefs and Titans, before the incident broke, according to NFL Network. Tomlin, known for his assertive leadership style, did not appear to let the allegations affect his plans. “We are confident in the process and will continue to evaluate Bond on his merits,” a source close to the Steelers said.

Bond, 21, recorded 34 catches, 540 yards and five touchdowns in the 2024 season with the Texas Longhorns. His impressive speed (4.39 seconds in the 40-yard dash at the NFL Combine) made him a target for many teams. However, the allegations could impact Bond’s draft position, with some experts predicting he could fall to the fourth round, according to Pro Football Focus.
