**Isaiah Bond Cleared of Charges, Set to Join Cleveland Browns**
Isaiah Bond, the former wide receiver from Alabama and Texas, is poised to embark on the next chapter of his football career after being cleared of criminal wrongdoing in a sexual assault case. A grand jury in Collin County, Texas, returned a “no bill,” effectively ending any possibility of an indictment against him.
Collin County District Attorney Greg Willis confirmed the decision, stating, “After reviewing all the evidence presented, a Collin County grand jury returned a ‘no bill’ in the sexual assault charge involving Isaiah Bond, meaning no indictment will be issued. This concludes the criminal proceedings in this matter.”
On Thursday, the 21-year-old athlete announced his intention to join the Cleveland Browns for his rookie season, although a contract has yet to be finalized, according to ESPN. Bond expressed his gratitude towards the organization for their faith in him, stating, “First and foremost, I want to express my deepest gratitude to the Cleveland Browns for believing in me and allowing me the opportunity to continue my career in the NFL. Football has been my passion since I was six years old, and playing at this level is a blessing I will never take for granted.”
Bond’s legal team had advised him to refrain from discussing the specifics of the case publicly, but he did assert his innocence. “I know there have been questions and reports about the recent allegations. I am grateful for the decision of the prosecutor and the courts not to pursue charges. I will learn from this experience as I grow in wisdom, character, and faith. On the advice of my attorney, I will not discuss the details of this case, but I want to be clear: from the very beginning, I have refuted these allegations and maintained my innocence. I stand firm by that today.”
The incident in question occurred when Bond turned himself in to Texas authorities on April 10, just weeks before the 2025 NFL Draft, and was released after posting a $25,000 bond. Although he went undrafted, Bond’s attorneys filed a lawsuit against the unnamed accuser, which was ultimately dismissed.
Bond’s collegiate football journey began with the Alabama Crimson Tide before transferring to Texas, where he concluded the 2024 season with 540 receiving yards and five touchdown receptions.
As Bond prepares for his future with the Cleveland Browns, he remains focused on his passion for football and the opportunity to fulfill his childhood dream.
