Ryan Paul Nassib (born March 10, 1990)[1] is an American football quarterback for the Syracuse Orange.
Nassib attended Malvern Prep. As a senior he completed 80 passes for 1,237 yards as he was named to third team all city at quarterback.[2] During his junior year, Nassib threw for 17 touchdowns on 1,400 yards.[3]
Nassib sat out his freshman year, sitting on the bench behind Cameron Dantley. Nassib was named as Syracuse's new starting quarterback during 2009 spring practices, jumping over Dantley and Andrew Robinson,.[4] After just one week of fall practice, however, head coach Doug Marrone named new Duke arrival Greg Paulus as the team's 2009 starter.[5] During the 2009 season Nassib played in eight of Syracuse's twelve games, throwing for 422 yards and three touchdowns with a 116.69 QB rating.[6]
