JUCO Linebacker/Defensive End Devante Bond is a name that has recently burst onto the scene for Miami's recruiting class. He is having a great season and has made a living around the other team's quarterback.

Bond’s team is pushing for a playoff spot.
“Our team is five and four right now and we have the opportunity to make the playoffs so we are doing pretty good.”
Bond is playing at the JUCO level and has been in contact with many schools as of late.
“I talk to Fresno State, Utah State, UNLV, Kentucky and Miami a lot.”
While Bond holds five offers at the moment, he is still searching for three in particular
“I would like to have that Miami offer, I also would like the Oklahoma offer and Mississippi State offer as well.”
While Bond does not hold a Miami offer, he has been in constant contact with the staff.
“I have been talking with coach Franklin every week, and we just talk about things other than football.”
Bond has high remarks for Coach Franklin and has seem to have built a great relationship.
“I like Coach Franklin, he is a cool guy. We have a good relationship we can talk about anything even family.”
Bond has high interest in Miami and the way they play.
“I like the defense. I like the way they run and besides that I just like the school in general.”
Bond is planning a visit to Miami soon, but must wait until he finishes his season with his school.
“I was planning a visit for December 7th, but we might be in the playoffs then so I didn’t want to make the visit then have to cancel it, but I will be visiting Miami before I make my decision.”
Bond won't be making his decision soon though, stating that he wants to wait it out.
“I will probably be making my decision late, like most likely in February, around there.”
Bond does know what he is looking for when he picks his school.
“I need to feel comfortable with the coaching staff and academics plays a part in it. I need a place where I can play early and fit the defensive scheme.”
