Former Texas and Alabama wide receiver Isaiah Bond has been no-billed and is no longer facing the sexual assault charge he was arrested on two weeks before he went undrafted in the 2025 NFL Draft, according to Collin County District Attorney Greg Willis in Texas.
“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,” Willis said in a statement Thursday, via ESPN. “This concludes the criminal proceedings in this matter.”
Bond then announced his future plans with the Cleveland Browns, although ESPN’s Adam Schefter reported shortly after that no deal has been finalized. Cleveland.com’s Mary Kay Cabot followed with a report that the Browns are “doing their diligence” on Bond and that a contract won’t be signed Thursday.

Earlier in the day, news broke that Browns running back Quinshon Judkins — whom the team selected in the second round of this year’s draft — will not face formal misdemeanor battery charges after he was arrested in July.
“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,” Bond wrote in a statement he posted to X.
He later added: “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.”
In April, the 21-year-old Bond reportedly turned himself in to Frisco, Texas, police for an outstanding sexual assault warrant. After he posted bail of $25,000, he was released from the Collin County jail. Bond released a statement, in which he described the claims made against him as “patently false.”
The statement also noted that he was “in full cooperation with the authorities” and that he’d remain that way throughout the investigation.

Bond went on to sue the woman who accused him, according to ESPN, which reported that Bond’s lawyers said the sexual encounter was consensual. The defamation suit was dismissed with prejudice last month by the U.S. District Court in Northern Texas, meaning that the case ended and Bond can’t file the claim again.
A former four-star prospect, Bond began his college career at Alabama, where he caught 65 passes across two seasons, most notably recording one of the most memorable grabs in Iron Bowl history in 2023.
The following year, he went to Texas but made only 34 receptions, tallying 540 receiving yards in the process. He dealt with an ankle injury that affected him down the stretch of the 2024 season, which ended with his Longhorns falling to Ohio State in the College Football Playoff semifinals. Bond clocked out with six touchdowns and 638 yards from scrimmage as a junior before declaring for the NFL Draft.

He was considered a mid-round draft prospect before his arrest.

Oklahoma zůstává v NBA na domácí palubovce stoprocentní
Oklahoma City naposledy doma prohrála na úvod finálové série minulé sezony s Indianou. Celkem tak má na kontě už sérii 17 výher ve své hale. Proti Memphisu měli Thunder zápas od druhé čtvrtiny pod kontrolou a hlídali si dvouciferný náskok. Pět minut před koncem sice Grizzlies snížili na pouhé čtyři body, ale domácí odpověděli dvěma trojkami a koncovka byla už opět plně v jejich režii.Denver rozhodl o výhře 135:112 nad Utahem skvělým začátkem, protože úvodní čtyři minuty vyhrál 19:0 a první čtvrtinu 40:15. Nuggets navíc trefili 24 trojek a vyrovnali klubový rekord. Nejlepší start do zápasu v historii měli Los Angeles Lakers v roce 1987, tehdy proti Sacramentu vedli už 29:0.Hned čtyři hráči Nuggets dali přes 20 bodů.
