Tommy Stevens is out, and Sean Clifford is in.
Stevens — Trace McSorley’s longtime backup and for years the record-holder’s presumed successor — is in the transfer portal and will leave Penn State. Stevens’ father informed the CDT late Thursday afternoon that No. 2’s time in Happy Valley is over.
Now, it’s time for the Clifford era.
Sure, Will Levis has impressed as Penn State’s second-string option this spring, but he’s firmly behind Clifford on the depth chart. Four-star 2019 signees Ta’Quan Roberson and Michael Johnson have potential, but won’t be ready to lead the Nittany Lions this fall.
