BREAKING: Best 5-Star RB Isaiah Bond Commits to LSU Tigers Over Alabama, Auburn, and Georgia…
In a shocking turn of events, highly-touted running back Isaiah Bond has flipped his commitment from one of the top programs in the country to the LSU Tigers. The 5-star recruit, who was previously committed to the University of Alabama, announced his decision on social media, sending shockwaves throughout the college football world.
Bond, a highly sought-after prospect from Marietta, Georgia, had been considered one of the top running back recruits in the country. His decision to commit to LSU marks a major coup for the Tigers, who were facing stiff competition from Alabama, Auburn, and Georgia for the talented back’s services.
“I am beyond excited to announce that I will be committing to play football at Louisiana State University,” Bond said in a statement. “I want to thank Coach [Ed Orgeron] and the entire LSU coaching staff for believing in me and giving me the opportunity to be a part of this amazing program. I am truly honored to be a Tiger and can’t wait to get to work!”
Bond’s commitment is a significant boost for LSU, which has been rebuilding its running back corps in recent years. The Tigers have been looking to add depth and talent to the position, and Bond’s addition is expected to provide a major lift.
“I am thrilled to welcome Isaiah to the LSU family,” Orgeron said in a statement. “He is an exceptional talent with a bright future ahead of him. We are excited to see him contribute to our program and help us achieve our goals on the field.”
Bond’s decision is also a blow to Alabama, which had been considered the favorite to land the 5-star recruit. The Crimson Tide had been courting Bond heavily, but ultimately came up short.
“We are disappointed that Isaiah has chosen to commit elsewhere,” Alabama coach Nick Saban said in a statement. “We wish him all the best in his future endeavors.”
Bond’s commitment is expected to have a significant impact on the recruiting landscape in the SEC, as other top programs are expected to re-evaluate their own recruiting strategies in light of his decision.
In related news, Bond’s high school teammate, 4-star defensive tackle Tyler Booker, has announced that he will also commit to LSU.
