Former Penn State quarterback Tommy Stevens told 247Sports on Friday he plans on taking three official visits to Miami (Ohio), Mississippi State and Illinois.

Illinois hasn’t tasted a winning season since 2011. In four seasons at Penn State, including a redshirt season in 2015, Stevens saw the Nittany Lions go 40-15, including 26-10 in the Big Ten. The highlight during his time in State College, Pa., came in 2016 when Penn State won the Big Ten and played Southern Cal in an epic Rose Bowl.
