Former Penn State quarterback Tommy Stevens tells 247Sports he has scheduled three official visits.

The Indianapolis native will be at Miami (Ohio) this weekend before heading to Illinois for two days beginning on Sunday. Mississippi State will get an official beginning next Thursday.

"These are my officials this week," Stevens added. He'll have two more trips at his disposal if he chooses to use them.

The 6-foot-5, 240-pound Stevens graduated from Penn State and will be immediately eligible at the school of his choosing.

A fifth-year senior, Stevens is yet to start a college game having sat behind Trace McSorley the last three seasons in Happy Valley. Stevens was projected as Penn State’s likely starter in 2019, but he abruptly entered the transfer portal two weeks ago just days after the Nittany Lions’ spring slate came to an end.

Stevens had surgery to correct an unspecified injury before Penn State’s bowl game last season. Recovery from that procedure limited Stevens during the spring and opened the door for a competition with Sean Clifford.

A former three-star prospect, Stevens is known as a bruising runner at 6-foot-5, 230 pounds. Stevens has averaged 6.7 yards per attempt throughout his career with 506 total yards and eight touchdowns. Penn State created a sub-package and a role known as “Lion” to get Stevens on the field last year. Stevens has had much fewer opportunities as a passer with just 41 career attempts. He finished 8-for-11 last year with 110 yards and one touchdown against an interception.

247Sports has heard that Mississippi State is in terrific position heading into these officials. Stevens has a relationship with Bulldogs head coach Joe Moorhead from his days as the Nittany Lions offensive coordinator.

Stevens ranked as the No. 647 overall player in the 2015 class, per the 247Sports Composite. He was a signee in James Franklin’s first full cycle class at Penn State.
