Key Highlights
- They pulled off three defensive linemen pickups on Wednesday and got highly coveted Texas WR Legend Bey to flip his pledge back to Tennessee. AdvertisementAdvertisementAdvertisementBut will that pledge stand?
- It’s starting to look like it won’t. The Vol Twitterverse went ablaze on Wednesday afternoon with rumors and a photo of a supposedly deleted tweet by Bey saying he was not going to go to the school that his mother and brother want him to. According to 247 Sports, it appears as though Bey does not want to go through with his mother’s desires and wants to go to Ohio State, even after the departure of OC/WR coach Brian Hartline to USF.
- Per Mike Roach of 247, Bey is seeking to get out of his commitment to Tennessee and go to Ohio State.
- He apparently turns 18 in a matter of weeks, so that decision will be up to him at that point. If that’s all true, then I say godspeed, Legend, and go have a great career at Ohio State.
- I think this should be academic for Tennessee to let him out, and it seems per Roach like that would be the case.

It’s a tough loss, as he’s an absolute gamebreaker and would have been a matchup nightmare for teams, but that’s the way recruiting goes.
