Syracuse Football: Get To Know Your Orange Man - #40 Joe Nassib

We're having a two-fer today on "Get To Know Your Orange Man".  Catch up on the rest of the team here.

Player: Joe Nassib

Number: #40

Position: Cornerback

Year: Sophomore

Height: 5'9"

Weight: 160

Hometown: Newton Square, PA

High School: The Haverford School

2010 Stats:  Nada

2011 Projections:  I really hope we don't get so many injuries where we have to start plugging in walk-ons on the field. Joe would probably be one of the first in though, and he looked like a pretty solid player this Spring, despite his size.  He could definitely see some special teams time.

How'd He Get Here?:  I'm guessing it has something to do with that last name of his (more on that later).

What'd Scout/Rivals Say?:  Nothing.  Neither service listed Joe.

Money Quote:  "Silence is a source of great strength"...well that was actually Lao Tzu.  Joe doesn't seem to be that talkative.

Links of Wonder:  The year was 2010, and the Nassibening was upon us.

What Does Marrone Think?:  Beats me...

Interesting Nugget O'Interest:  As many of you have probably guessed, Joe is related to our wonderful quarterback Ryan; the two are cousins.  Joe studies in the wonderful iSchool as an Information Management and Technology major.

Let's Get a Good Look at You:  The Haverford School has a ton of highlights and slideshows from their championship 2009 season on their website (where they defeated Ryan Nassib's alma mater Malvern squad no less).  Joe is #24.
