Isaiah Bond and Michael Taaffe, a wide receiver and a defensive back respectively, are set to drive some of the finest cars on the Texas campus this year. They have been chosen by Lamborghini Austin as promotional partners for the 2024 season. This partnership has awarded each athlete a new Lamborghini, marking a luxurious start to their year. The dealership announced their selections via a social media post.
Jeremy Crabtree of On3 Sports highlighted that Bond and Taaffe were selected for this NIL (Name, Image, Likeness) deal due to their exceptional academic achievements, community involvement, and on-field success. Receiving new Lamborghinis not only serves as a significant perk but also underscores their standout qualities both as athletes and individuals.
Isaiah Bond is a notable transfer from Alabama, where he spent his first two collegiate seasons. Recognized as the top wide receiver prospect in the transfer portal by 247Sports, he transferred to Texas after recording 668 receiving yards and four touchdowns last year. Bond aims to continue his impressive performance on the field with the Longhorns.
Michael Taaffe is entering his third season with the Texas Longhorns, having recorded 48 tackles, two passes deflected, and three interceptions in the previous season. As Texas transitions to the SEC after a strong 12-2 season and a Big 12 Championship, both Bond and Taaffe will be key players in navigating the challenges of one of college football’s toughest conferences.
