A new quarterback era begins when the Penn State football team takes the field next fall. Trace McSorley is headed for the NFL, meaning it’s Tommy Stevens’ time to take the reins. The dual threat QB has shown off plenty of ability in his LION role and when he’s gotten reps under center as a backup.
Stevens is far from a normal first-year starter, he was responsible for 131 offensive plays (76 carries, 41 pass attempts and 14 catches) over his three years that he backed up McSorley. He recorded 872 total yards and 14 total touchdowns against just one interception.
