Not bad for a kid who ran the Winged T offense in high school...

This release from the PS also states that Ryan is on the watchlist for the senior Bowl, a candidate for the 2012 Unitas Award and more

Congrats to Nassib!! This is an impressive achievement that can only be made through a lot of hard work. I hope he is proud because his hard work has also made everyone around him look better.

This is a great honor for Ryan. it will be cool to see him on the stage at the Waldorf Astoria in December. Very prestigious accomplishment by him.

This is great

"The graduate student in accounting was one of 15 chosen to receive a post-graduate scholarship of $18,000. He becomes a finalist for the William V. Campbell trophy, presented to the nation’s top scholar-athlete."

Ryan's statement:

“It’s a great honor to be able to get an award from such a renowned foundation,” Nassib said. “I'm happy that I was able to get the award for my team and my school. It's quite an honor to be recognized like this.”

Congrats to Ryan. If he's as good a student as Tony Romano (who was in an Eco class I taught), he's in good company.

That's unpossible!

Great job Mr. Nassib and I'm sure his mom and dad are busting buttons.
