Tommy DeVito's college football career

Tommy DeVito was a highly recruited prospect coming out of high school. The Livingston, New Jersey native had offers from Syracuse, Yale, Rutgers, Maryland, Boston College, Penn and Temple. DeVito eventually chose to enroll at Syracuse University.

After redshirting his true freshman season, DeVito joined Syracuse for the 2018 college football season. Entering 2018, DeVito was the backup to Eric Dungey; thus, he only played in seven games, amassing a stat line of 525 passing yards, four touchdowns, and three interceptions in seven games.

The 2019 college football season was significantly better, as DeVito featured in 12 games. The New Jersey native compiled a 4–7 record in the process, putting up a stat line of 2,360 passing yards, 19 touchdowns and five interceptions.

However, rather than build on his solid individual numbers in 2019, Syracuse saw him feature just seven times in the next two years. This was initially due to a season-ending leg injury and later because of the transfer of Garrett Shrader. Due to losing his spot, DeVito entered the transfer portal and moved to the University of Illinois.

DeVito promptly earned the starting quarterback job and kept the position for the entirety of the 2022 collegiate season. DeVito had an 8-5 record as a starter for the Illinois Fighting Illini, amassing a stat line of 2,650 yards, 15 touchdowns and four picks. At the end of the season, DeVito declared for the 2023 NFL draft.
