**Former Syracuse quarterback Tommy DeVito is transferring to Illinois. DeVito threw for 19 touchdowns to just five interceptions in 2019, but wasn’t able to replicate that success over the next two years. He suffered a season-ending injury in Week 4 of 2020 and entered the transfer portal by Week 6 of 2021.
Penn State isn’t scheduled to play Illinois in 2022, but is set to go to Champagne Sept. 16, 2023.
