Less than a week after turning himself into authorities on a sexual assault warrant, NFL draft prospect Isaiah Bond has filed a lawsuit against the woman who made the initial claims.

Lawyers for Bond filed the suit in United States District Court in Northern Texas on Tuesday, saying the woman made false statements to police in Frisco, Texas.

Bond, a standout wide receiver for the Texas Longhorns last season, turned himself into police on April 10, although he denied the allegations on Instagram after posting a $25,000 bond.

“Regarding the accusation made against me, I would appreciate the time and opportunity to defend myself and prove the claims made, patently false,” Bond wrote. “I am in full cooperation with the authorities and will remain a willing and active participant in the investigation. Unfortunately, claims like these prove to be harmful to all involved, absent full review. I kindly request that all reserve judgement until the authorities provide a complete report based on truth and evidence.”

Bond’s lawyers say that the wideout did engage in a sexual encounter with the unnamed woman, calling the affair consensual. The lawsuit, which includes a defamation claim, asks for economic damages and a civil trial.

After spending two years at Alabama, Bond transferred to Texas for the 2024 season, during which he recorded 34 receptions for 540 yards and five touchdowns. He also had four carries for 98 yards and a score. For his career, Bond had 99 catches for 1,428 yards and 10 TDs, leading some NFL draft experts to slot him as a second- or third-round pick in next week’s draft.
