Syracuse quarterback Garrett Shrader won't be available for the RoofClaim.com Boca Raton Bowl against South Florida after surgery, ending his college career.
Shrader was limited in Syracuse's four games of the season, while dealing with a shoulder issue. Instead, the Orange turned to tight end Dan Villari, who largely served as a Wildcat option. Shrader played a bigger role in the team's regular-season finale against Wake Forest, throwing for three touchdowns, locking up bowl eligibility for the Orange.
"It was important for me to get our team to a bowl game," Shrader said in a statement released by the team.
