Jason Emerich’s Career Ends After Shoulder Surgery

SYRACUSE, N.Y.– Syracuse Redshirt Senior Jason Emerich underwent surgery for an injured shoulder on Oct. 11 ending his career. Emerich suffered the injury in the first half of a Sept. 9 Orange loss to the Louisville Cardinals.

Emerich joined the starting lineup Week 3 of last season against Central Michigan and subsequently stayed there for the remainder of his career. This season, the Center participated in 172 snaps for the Orange.
