I promise this will be the last article I write about Tommy Stevens (probably (maybe (probably not who am I kidding))).
Tommy’s father more or less made it publicly known that Tommy would not be returning to Penn State. While some had hoped that Stevens was just keeping his options open in case the quarterback competition with Sean Clifford went awry, Tommy’s dad made it plainly known that his son is going to go somewhere that he’ll be guaranteed the starting job.
I saw much gnashing of teeth and rending of garments after that came to light - that Stevens is afraid of competition, that if he were so afraid of losing then Penn State doesn’t want him anyway, etc.
