Nassib received an athletic scholarship to attend Syracuse University, where he played for the Syracuse Orange football team from 2008 to 2012. He redshirted the 2008 season, sitting on the bench behind Cameron Dantley. Nassib was named as Syracuse's new starting quarterback during 2009 spring practices, jumping over Dantley and Andrew Robinson.[1] After just one week of fall practice, however, head coach Doug Marrone named Duke transfer Greg Paulus as the team's 2009 starter.[2] Backing up Paulus, Nassib played 10 games during the 2009 season where he played a role in specific offensive packages against Minnesota and Northwestern. Against Penn State, he completed 4 of 5 passes for 30 yards, including his first completion on his first career pass. He ended the 2009 season throwing for 422 yards and three touchdowns with a 116.69 QB rating.[3]

Nassib threw at least one touchdown pass in eleven games as he tied for fourth on Syracuse's single-season record list with 19 touchdown passes. At Akron, Nassib led Syracuse to its first season-opening victory since 2003 as he threw for 229 yards and two touchdowns on 17 of 27 completions. Against Washington, he completed 17 of 35 passes for 202 yards and a touchdown as he also ran for 39 yards and one touchdown on seven carries. His 28-yard rushing touchdown was the first of his career. Against Maine, Nassib set a school record with five touchdown passes. Nassib piloted a 98-yard scoring drive in the fourth quarter and a three-yard touchdown completion to Marcus Sales to win the game against South Florida. The Orange finished the 2010 season with a 7–5 record and a Pinstripe Bowl win with Ryan completing 13–21 pass attempts for 239 yards and three touchdowns, including a career long 52-yard completion.
