SU’S NASSIB INVITED TO 2013 SENIOR BOWL

Syracuse University quarterback Ryan Nassib (Malvern, Pa.) will play in the 2013 Senior Bowl on January 26 at Ladd-Peebles Stadium (4:00 pm, NFL Network). He is the 52ND Orange standout to earn an invitation to the nation’s most unique football game and football’s premier senior showcase event, which annually features the country’s best senior collegiate football players and top NFL draft prospects on teams representing the North and South that are coached by the entire coaching staffs of two National Football League teams. Nassib joins fellow Syracuse quarterbacks Donovan McNabb (1999 Senior Bowl), Marvin Graves (1994) and Don McPherson (1988) as Orange signal callers who have played in the Senior Bowl.

A 2012 National Football Foundation Scholar-Athlete, Nassib holds the Syracuse single-season and career records for passing yards (3,749 in 2012; 9,190 career) and completions (294; 791), and also set single-season records for touchdown passes (26) and total offense (3,891 yards). Nassib, who is one of four team captains, earned 2012 Pro Football Weekly All-America honors for his record-setting performance this season. His 288.4 yards per game ranked 17th nationally and led the BIG EAST. A three-year starter, Nassib earned undergraduate degrees in finance and managerial accounting and is currently pursuing a Master’s degree in accounting.
