Over the past several years, the Tennessee Volunteers have seen the program turn around under the leadership of Josh Heupel. After several coaches had terrible tenures, Josh Heupel has been able to take the Volunteers back into contention in the SEC and took Tennessee to the College Football Playoff last season.
The biggest reason for Tennessee's turnaround under Josh Heupel has been his explosive offense which has taken the SEC by storm. The best example was the 2022 season as Hendon Hooker became one of the best quarterbacks in the Country with an elite playmaker on the outside in Jalin Hyatt.
Josh Heupel's offense is able to scheme wide open receivers down the field and if the quarterback is able to hit the open receiver, it's a touchdown almost every time. The key for Tennessee's offense is having that elite level speed receiver that can take the top off of the defense.
Tennessee's latest commit Legend Bey is the perfect fit for the Vols' offense
On Saturday Night, the Tennessee Volunteers reeled in a commitment from 4-star athlete Legend Bey who picked Tennessee over Texas A&M and Duke.

While Legend Bey is listed as an athlete, he'll play wide receiver for the Tennessee Volunteers. According to On3's Industry Recruiting Rankings, Legend Bey is the 301st ranked player in the Country, the 13th ranked athlete in the class, and the 37th ranked player out of Texas.
The aspect of Legend Bey's game that's the most impressive is the speed he has and how well it translates to the field. At the High School level, Bey plays quarterback but, he was able to pick up 1,912 yards rushing with 28 touchdowns. On the track, Bey has run a 10.1 second 100 meter dash giving him true track speed.
When Legend Bey arrives in Knoxville, he'll need to develop as a wide receiver as he's played mostly quarterback. Once the Volunteers staff is able to get him to the level he'll reach as a receiver, Bey's speed will make him the perfect player to fill a role like Jalin Hyatt did in Tennessee's explosive offense.
