In 2024, he joined the Texas Longhorns as a junior and helped the team reach the Rose Bowl. According to ESPN, Bond finished the 2024 season with 34 receptions, 540 yards, and five touchdowns.

From Buford to Texas: Meet Isaiah Bond’s Parents
The most recognized figure in Bond’s family is his mother, Penny Harris Bond. A native of Harlem, Penny attended Brooklyn Technical High School before continuing her education at Montclair State University and Troy University. She has been a steady force of encouragement and guidance throughout his life and athletic career.
Bond often credits his mother as his biggest supporter. In multiple interviews, he has highlighted her honest feedback.
“Definitely, my mom. Good game, bad game, she going to tell me bad air game. She’s always like that since I was a little kid. I could break a record, and she’ll be like, ‘What we going to do now?’” Bond shared.
He also added,
“Even when I have a great day, ‘Let’s do it again,’ or even if I have a bad day, ‘What do you do wrong? How can we fix this stuff?’ So, my mom has definitely been a great support system.”
While Penny’s impact is well-known, little about Bond’s father is publicly available. As of 2025, the family has kept details regarding his father private, and no confirmed reports provide further information.
Born on March 15, 2004, in Hamilton, Georgia, Bond grew up in Buford, where his mother’s influence helped him excel in football and track and field. He won many titles in the track field while Penny’s strict and never-give-up attitude was with him during the matches. Though some reports suggest Bond has a brother, specifics about his siblings remain limited.
