Penn State Football: Will Levis takes backup reins with Stevens transfer

A quarterback-room shuffle with the departure of Tommy Stevens likely solidified Sean Clifford as Penn State football’s starting quarterback. Clifford’s move up the depth chart means there’s another spot open, the backup QB job. The most logical option for the 2019 season appears to be redshirt freshman Will Levis.

He’s been in the program for a full year and displayed talent in practice and the spring game. He played so well during spring practice that KJ Hamler took notice and said the young QB is becoming a star, according to Penn Live. High praise for someone that’s been on the team for barely a year.
