One of the fastest and most explosive players across the country, Bond is preparing for another state championship with the Wolves, but he made a massive decision on his recruitment this week, committing to the Alabama Crimson Tide after de-committing from Florida. He’s not the biggest wide-out in the region, but his speed tough to handle for just about every DB he goes up against, and can turn around and stay with just about any receiver as a defensive back. At 6-foot-0 175-pounds, Bond is a dangerous deep-ball threat for any offense at the next level due to his straight-line speed and ball skills.

The 6-foot-2 190-pounder has a good size and frame, but he’s pretty fast for his size. He also has some explosiveness to his game that other big athletes don’t have. He’s one of the top two-way players in the region and this week he committed to play for the Colorado Buffaloes.

He moves well for his size, he’s disruptive, and he could see many more offers coming his way. This week, Jones committed to Kentucky over offers from Tennessee, Mississippi State, Coastal Carolina, and many more.
