Alabama wide receiver Isaiah Bond became an instant celebrity with 32 seconds left in the Iron Bowl, when he caught the game-winning touchdown pass on frouth-and-31 to beat Auburn 27-24 at Jordan-Hare Stadium on Nov. 25.

Some five weeks later, he said Thursday his life has changed dramatically because of that moment. And not all of the differences have been positive.

“It’s definitely changed a lot in good and bad ways as well, but it’s definitely, definitely changed a lot,” Bond said. “… Just from all the people walking up to me, it’s a little different feel.

“I was at a (Alabama) basketball game and I had to leave because everybody wanted a picture. So there’s good and bad to it as well.”

Bond, a sophomore from Buford, Ga., was a four-star recruit in Alabama’s 2022 signing class. He leads the Crimson Tide with 44 receptions this season, but was really a rather anonymous player at least when compared to the likes of teammates Jalen Milroe, Dallas Turner and Kool-Aid McKinstry.

Since “4th and 31,” however, he’s become a household name in college football. He’ll be featured in an upcoming Daniel Moore portrait titled “Gravedigger,” a nod to the play name of Bond’s touchdown vs. Auburn.

Bond went home for the holiday break prior to traveling with the Alabama team to Pasadena for Monday’s Rose Bowl vs. Michigan, but said the visit was so brief he didn’t get to experience much of the celebrity life in his hometown.

“I only saw my parents and maybe a couple of friends,” Bond said. “I really didn’t go out much, so I didn’t really get to really experience that side yet.”

Kickoff for the Rose Bowl game is set for 4 p.m. Central on Monday, with television coverage on ESPN.
