Oklahoma State quarterback Wes Lunt is transferring to Illinois, according to multiple reports.

Lunt announced his intentions to transfer in May.

As a freshman, Lunt threw for 1,108 yards with six touchdowns and seven interceptions in five games last year.

Due to NCAA rules, Lunt has to sit out the 2013 season.

Oklahoma State coach Mike Gundy placed transfer restrictions on Lunt after he decided he wanted to be closer to home. He chose between Illinois and Louisville.

Lunt grew up in Rochester, Ill., about a 90-minute drive from the Illinois campus in Champaign.
