Syracuse quarterback Garrett Shrader will not play in Thursday's Boca Raton Bowl for the Orange, the program announced on Monday. Shrader had surgery to repair a torn shoulder that he has dealt with since October. 

"It was important for me to get our team to a bowl game," Shrader said in a statement. "I would have done it earlier in the season, but I wanted to wait until we got bowl eligible. This team has too much talent and works too hard not to play a 13th game. 

"It's been a blessing and a privilege to play for Syracuse University. I'm glad my final game in the Dome was an opportunity to help this team get to a bowl. I want to thank Coach Babers and his staff for the opportunity to play here. I'm looking to forward to supporting my teammates down in Boca."

The news means his last game in a Syracuse uniform was a JMA Wireless Dome win over Wake Forest that pushed the Orange to bowl eligibility. 

Shrader finishes his Cuse career third in career completion percentage (.604), fourth in career passing efficiency (136.1), fifth in total offense (7,474), third in total offense per game (213.5), sixth in touchdown passes (39), fourth in touchdowns responsible for (70) and fourth in career rushing touchdowns (31).

Title: Publisher All Syracuse Education: Roberts Wesleyan College Location: Syracuse, New York Expertise: Syracuse basketball, football and recruiting.  EXPERIENCE Mike McAllister has been covering Syracuse basketball, football and recruiting for more than a decade. Mike's career started with his own free blog as a way to vent following sporting events. Shortly thereafter, a network of basketball sites called Coast 2 Coast Hoops asked him to run their Syracuse site. That site was called Nation of Orange, and Mike quickly established it as a go-to for Syracuse fans.  After running Nation of Orange for several months, a position with the Syracuse site on the Scout network became available. After one year as the recruiting expert with Cuse Nation, he was named the publisher. Mike oversaw the transition from Scout to 247Sports, and ran the site on that network for years.  Presented with the opportunity to join one of the biggest names in the sports journalism industry, Sports Illustrated, Mike jumped at the chance. All Syracuse was started from scratch by Mike and the Fan Nation team. It has now become a staple for Orange fans of various sports.  Mike has broken news on recruiting, Syracuse basketball and football team information and has established himself as the top recruiting inside in the market. He has appeared on local radio shows, television broadcasts, national radio shows and much more. Mr. McAllister has a Bachelor of Science Degree in Accounting and Information Management from Roberts Wesleyan College.
