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, 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 that no deal has been finalized.
“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.”
