Early Signing Day has become the one with the most action these days. The Ohio State football program certainly had a wild one. It was the day that Brian Hartline decided to leave for South Florida. That announcement threw a lot of things out of whack for the class.
Chris Henry Jr. hasn't decided where he's going to sign now, but things don't look good for the Buckeyes. Another recruit who flipped is Legend Bey, who was recruited as a running back by Ohio State. He decided to sign with Tennessee under the strong influence of his mother.
However, this saga is not over. Apparently, Bey very much wants to sign with the Ohio State Buckeyes. In fact, Bey logged into his social media account to let everyone know that his mom and brother had signed in to delete posts about the Buckeyes in favor of Tennessee.
Legend Bey could still flip to the Ohio State football program
Take a look at this post, which was then deleted.

Bey is not 18, which means that his mother has to sign off on his LOI. That's why he ended up signing with Tennessee on Wednesday night. But Bey turns 18 in a few weeks. At that point, Bey could ask for his release from Tennessee or enter the transfer portal so that he could transfer to Ohio State.
Quite frankly, this is not something that the Buckeyes have ever seen. This seems like a very complicated family situation that will be messy when it's all over. No matter where Bey ends up, it looks like his family is going to be either very happy or very mad.
If Bey does eventually end up in Columbus, he will be playing running back. At Tennessee, they were considering using him as a quarterback. This saga is likely going to continue until after Christmas and into January when the transfer portal opens.
