Tommy DeVito announced he was entering the transfer portal on Sunday night, three games after he lost the starting job. Syracuse head coach Dino Babers’ go-to quarterback for the last three years was replaced by Mississippi State transfer Garrett Shrader, a move that “shocked” DeVito.

The morning after DeVito’s announcement, Babers took the stage in his weekly press conference, stating that this wasn’t how he expected DeVito’s time with the Orange to end.
