He later\u00a0filed a federal complaint against his accuser.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">This week,\u00a0Collin County (Texas) District Attorney Greg Willis confirmed that Bond will face no further criminal charges.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">Willis said: &#8216;After reviewing all the evidence presented, a Collin County grand jury returned a &#8220;no bill&#8221; in the sexual assault charge involving Isaiah Bond, meaning no indictment will be issued. This concludes the criminal proceedings in this matter.&#8217;<\/p>\n<p>   <img decoding=\"async\" id=\"i-1fc9197283338f4a\" src=\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/101236789-15001951-image-a-9_1755209764261.jpg\" height=\"423\" width=\"634\" alt=\"Former Texas star Isaiah Bond has revealed that he plans to join the Cleveland Browns\" class=\"blkBorder img-share\" style=\"max-width:100%\" loading=\"lazy\" \/>   <\/p>\n<p class=\"imageCaption\">Former Texas star Isaiah Bond has revealed that he plans to join the Cleveland Browns<\/p>\n<p>   <img decoding=\"async\" id=\"i-7f951ef8d0a92111\" src=\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/101237319-15001951-image-a-10_1755209982950.jpg\" height=\"423\" width=\"634\" alt=\"Bond was a highly-ranked prospect but, following his arrest in April, he went undrafted\" class=\"blkBorder img-share\" style=\"max-width:100%\" loading=\"lazy\" \/>   <\/p>\n<p class=\"imageCaption\">Bond was a highly-ranked prospect but, following his arrest in April, he went undrafted<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">Shortly after, Bond released a statement of his own, announcing that he will now fulfil his childhood dream.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">&#8216;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,&#8217; he wrote.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">&#8216;Football has been my passion since I was six years old, and playing at this level is a blessing I will never take for granted. I understand that playing in the NFL is a privilege, and I&#8217;m thankful every day to live my childhood dream.&#8217;<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">According to ESPN, no deal with the Browns has yet been finalized. But Bond thanked Cleveland GM Andrew Berry and owner\u00a0Jimmy Haslam, insisting he is &#8216;determined to prove the Browns organization and everyone who believes in me right.&#8217;<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">The wide receiver refused to divulge details of his sexual assault case. He did, however, say he &#8216;stood firm by&#8217; his denials. Bond also said he was &#8216;grateful for the decision of the prosecutor and the courts not to pursue charges.&#8217;<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">&#8216;I will learn from this experience as I grow in wisdom, character and faith,&#8217; he added.<\/p>\n<p>                    Share or comment on this article:<br \/>\n                        College football star Isaiah Bond eyes shock NFL deal after sexual assault allegations against him are scrapped<\/p>\n<p>        <script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"By DANIEL MATTHEWS, US SENIOR SPORTS WRITER Published: 17:52 EDT, 14 August 2025 | Updated: 18:36 EDT, 14&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":147541,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[43],"tags":[1544,211,1318,1317,1315,1316,1232,1926,62,358,67,132,68],"class_list":{"0":"post-147540","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-ncaa-football","8":"tag-cleveland-browns","9":"tag-dailymail","10":"tag-football","11":"tag-ncaa","12":"tag-ncaa-football","13":"tag-ncaafootball","14":"tag-nfl","15":"tag-sport","16":"tag-sports","17":"tag-texas","18":"tag-united-states","19":"tag-unitedstates","20":"tag-us"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@us\/115032258256616465","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/147540","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=147540"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/147540\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/147541"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=147540"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=147540"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=147540"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
