"The saga of Legend Bey added a new chapter Thursday. The Top247 athlete from Forney (Texas) North Forney was the talk of National Signing Day when he entered Wednesday committed to Ohio State and ended up signing with Tennessee amid pressure from members of his family.

A post from Bey's social media account on X stated the following Thursday before it was quickly deleted:

"Good afternoon, I was just recently logged out of my IG and probably will be logged out of this account as well by my older brother who has access to my account because, I won't sign to the school him and my mother wants.- Legend Bey"

Bey's story dominated National Signing Day as a back-and-forth struggle going on behind the scenes spilled into public view. As 247Sports reported, Bey arrived at school Wednesday ready to sign with Ohio State, but family pressure from his mother was pushing him toward Tennessee.

247Sports detailed the saga in an extensive report following the announcement he'd signed with Tennessee.

Sources told 247Sports Wednesday evening that Bey was unhappy with the decision and would seek a path to be released from Tennessee and end up at Ohio State.

We were told that this would likely play out in three weeks when Bey turns 18 years old on Christmas Eve, but Bey decided to communicate his unrest Thursday.

Since the NCAA eliminated the National Letter of Intent, paperwork is in the form of financial aid agreements/revenue-sharing contracts. While the legal language isn't as binding as the NIL, we're told that Bey would still need to seek a release after submitting paperwork to Tennessee.

If he were not granted that release, another option would be to enter his name into the transfer portal when it opens in January. That said, a source close to the situation feels that with the way this recruitment played out, Tennessee would not be opposed to releasing him from his paperwork."

So he's gone. What a mess. This type of drama rarely works out for the kid.

What if....the mother and brother wants him to sign to Ohio State? Because he clearly signed to UT.

It’s no secret that mom had been pushing him to sign with UT. I don’t know all the details, nobody does, but we just gotta let this one play out. There’s too much false info being spread

There's another what if that nobody seems to want to mention...what if mom or brother forged his signature? The kid needs to clearly communicate what he wants without any confusion that it's his brother or someone else speaking for him. If he wants a release, then I'm sure Heupel will give it to him. Such an unnecessary bunch of drama. Clear it up ASAP and move on.

Honestly just need Heupel or Pope to get on the phone and sorted out. If he wants to be here then all this is just noise and nothing else. If not, cut the papers and release the kid. If he doesn’t want to be here then he isn’t going to translate well on the field.

This whole thing just reeks. Why doesn’t he contact a journalist and lay it all out directly? Could be games being played with NIL. I wonder if Tennessee offered an immediate “signing bonus” that comes with stipulations about actually playing at UT.

I would suggest that Coach tell Legend and his mom/family take the weekend and hash it out and get back to him next week with a personal direct communication with him on the preferred path. If to be released that they communicate the decision process publicly through a respected national TV guy.
