“It’s gon’ hurt to let you go,” Legend Bey posted on his Instagram story.
The Ohio State Buckeyes face mounting roster departures after a loss to Oregon knocked the team out of College Football Playoff contention earlier than expected in November 2026, Yahoo Sports reported.
- Ohio State is dealing with an unusual three-loss season following quarterback injuries and a downturn in performance.
- Four-star recruit Legend Bey shared lyrics from Rod Wave’s song “Mainstay” over photos of himself in a Buckeyes uniform.
- The program has already dismissed its special teams coordinator as changes sweep through Columbus.
Bey signed with Ohio State on December 22, 2025, listed on the recruiting board simply as an athlete rather than a fixed position. Heavy.com reported that his initial commitment involved family-driven controversy with multiple flips between Ohio State and Tennessee before he ultimately chose the Buckeyes.
The four-star prospect from Mesquite, Texas, included three pictures of himself playing for Ohio State alongside the Rod Wave lyrics. While the social media post leaves room for interpretation, fans quickly read it as a sign that his time in Columbus is coming to an end.

The Buckeyes are unaccustomed to enduring three losses in a single season. Yahoo Sports noted that quarterback Julian Sayin’s injury against Indiana sent the campaign into a downward spiral that true freshman quarterback Luke Fahey and his teammates could not reverse.
Disappointment of this magnitude naturally invites off-season shifts in modern college football. The university already dismissed its special teams coordinator, though analysts expect more roster turnover through the transfer portal in the coming weeks.
