It was revealed on Thursday that Isaiah Bond is one of two Texas football players who have signed NIL contracts with Lamborghini Austin.
Michael Taaffe, a safety for the Texas Longhorns and former Alabama receiver, was chosen by Lamborghini Austin to be their promotional partner for the 2024 season. The announcement cited Taaffe’s “strong academic achievements, community leadership, and success on the field.”
After spending two seasons at Alabama, Bond transferred to Texas. In 2023, he had 48 receptions for 668 yards and four touchdowns with the Tide, including the game-winning reception versus Auburn.
Bruce Knox, managing partner of Lamborghini Austin, stated in a release that the program “rewards student-athletes for success in the classroom, contributions to their community, and performance in sports.”
“Our committee chose two exceptional student-athletes who came to the University of Texas in a different way, who excelled both on and off the field, and who will work together to lead the Longhorns in their inaugural SEC season.”
