BREAKING COMMITMENT: Texas Speedster Legend Bey Locks in with Tennessee, Vols Land a Game-Changing Weapon on Offense
In a major recruiting win for the Tennessee Volunteers, elite Texas athlete and track standout Legend Bey has officially committed to play football in Knoxville. The 4-star wide receiver from Cedar Hill, Texas, brings world-class speed, elite agility, and a competitive edge that could redefine the future of Tennessee’s offensive arsenal.
Bey, known for his explosiveness on both the gridiron and the track, chose Tennessee over offers from a host of powerhouse programs including Texas, Oklahoma, Alabama, and LSU. At 6-foot-0 and 180 pounds, Bey has the size to compete physically and the blazing 10.35-second 100-meter speed to burn defenders deep—making him one of the most electrifying prospects in the Class of 2025.
His decision comes as a huge momentum boost for head coach Josh Heupel and his offensive staff, who have placed a strong emphasis on speed and verticality in their up-tempo attack. Bey fits that mold perfectly. Known for stretching defenses with his go routes and elusive yards-after-catch ability, he’s the type of wideout who can turn a 5-yard slant into an 80-yard touchdown in the blink of an eye.
“I felt at home at Tennessee,” Bey said in his announcement. “The coaching staff believes in me, the offensive system fits my style, and the energy in Knoxville is different. I want to be a part of building something special.”
Tennessee fans have every reason to be excited. Bey’s commitment represents more than just another addition to the Vols’ already impressive recruiting class—it’s a statement that Tennessee can go into football-rich states like Texas and compete toe-to-toe with blue-blood programs. It’s also a testament to the program’s rising national profile under Heupel’s leadership.
Bey’s skillset translates seamlessly to the modern college game. With defenses forced to account for his deep-threat capabilities, Tennessee’s offense will have more room to operate underneath and in the running game. Pairing him with current young stars and fellow recruits could create a dynamic and lethal offense in the years to come.
Off the field, Bey has been praised for his leadership and relentless work ethic. Coaches at Cedar Hill describe him as a “locker room lifter” and a mentor to younger players. That kind of character aligns perfectly with the culture Heupel and his staff are building at Tennessee.
While Bey still has one more year of high school football to play, his eyes are clearly set on bigger goals. “I want to win championships,” he said. “I want to be great. Tennessee is the place where I know I can grow into the player and person I want to be.”
With the Vols continuing to stack talent and add elite speed to their roster, the future in Knoxville is starting to look very bright—and fast.
