Syracuse quarterback Justin Lamson will miss the entire 2022 season due to injury, head coach Dino Babers said on Monday.

"Justin will not play this year," Babers said. "He's right now at the point where he's starting to jog and he looks good. We want to make sure his rehab is extremely thorough, like we do with all of our players. He could come back and be a shaky-legged guy this year. That’s not what we want. We've got high hopes for him and we're going to bring him back in the spring and get him a full year of recovery. That'll make him extremely strong going into the 2023 season."

Lamson was a standout during the annual spring game in April. He finished 7-of-10 passing for 151 yards and two touchdowns. He suffered the injury in subsequent practices. During the spring, he took first team reps at times and looked poise to snag the backup quarterback job if not compete with Shrader for the starting gig. Now Dan Villari, Carlos Del Rio-Wilson and JaCobian Morgan will compete to backup Shrader.

Lamson signed with Syracuse as a dual threat quarterback in the 2020 recruiting class out of Oak Ridge High in California.

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.
