"Just like the business world, you make the best decision for your company," Bond said. "My company right now is my draft stock. I feel like I'm putting myself in position to increase that and have better draft stock."
He also pointed to his relationship with Texas head coach Steve Sarkisian and the return of Longhorns quarterback Quinn Ewers as factors in his destination.
"He's a great big-time pocket passer quarterback," Bond said of Ewers. "He's a top pick in the draft next year. I'm also going to be a top pick. It's going to be a good duo."
