What can you say? The man likes Orange and Blue.
Syracuse quarterback Tommy DeVito announced his intent to transfer to Illinois on Friday night via Twitter.
DeVito, a New Jersey native, has one year left of eligibility, and barring any more upgrades likely steps in for Brandon Peters as the Illini’s starting quarterback. (Although, we may see a preseason competition with Art Sitkowski.)
A former four-star recruit in the class of 2017, DeVito brings some much-needed talent to Illinois’ QB room. Over four seasons, he threw for more than 3,8000 yards, as well as 28 touchdowns to just 12 interceptions.
