No one knew what to expect when Tommy Stevens missed practice early in spring camp. Rumors swirled. Fans feared the worst and the expected that he had transferred. Stevens looked and found no ideal suitor like the Nittany Lions. Penn State football fans waited on pins and needles and let out a collective sigh of relief when he revealed his plans to stay.
Stevens decision has a lot to unpack. First, it likely means he’ll finish his career at Penn State. After spending four years (including next year’s campaign as a backup) the job will be his to lose.
