This is not what anyone in Knoxville wanted to see. The Tennessee football team has enough to worry about on Saturday, as No. 18 Oklahoma is in town and the Vols need to post a win to keep its CFP hopes alive. However, a new worry has arrived out on the recruiting trail.

Since late June, electric speedster Legend Bey has been committed to the Vols and it didn't seem like he was wavering with his decision at all. Enter Ohio State. According to reporter Mick Walker, the Texas product is in Columbus this weekend for an official visit. Is Bey now on flip watch moving forward?

4-star Tennessee commit Legend Bey is taking an official visit to Ohio State

Bey is listed as a 4-star athlete on multiple recruiting sites, but the expectation is that he's going to play wide receiver at the next level for Tennessee. That is unless the Buckeyes blow his socks off during his OV and give him something to think about moving forward.

In late September, Bey told 247Sports' Mike Roach that he was 100 percent locked in with his decision to make plays for head man Josh Heupel in the SEC. However, the reigning national champs are working their magic, with Ryan Day hoping to post a flip.

The atmosphere at The Shoe is expected to be off the charts for the Ohio State vs. Penn State matchup. The Buckeyes are the No. 1 team in the country and they are bringing in countless prospects to town for what's shaping up to be a massive recruiting weekend.

The same can be said for the Vols, as Heupel has an incredible amount of targets high on his board making their way to Knoxville to see if Tennessee can take care of business against the Sooners and improve to 7-2. It's going to be a close game, but something tells us UT is going to get things done.

As for Bey, he's surely going to enjoy a nice weekend meeting with Day and his staff, but will it be enough for him to back off his Tennessee pledge? That's obviously something Heupel is going to want to avoid, but Bey taking this visit indeed is a bit of a surprise and it's certainly a concern for the Vols.
