Synder logged his best performance against Liberty in Week 3 this past season, throwing for 276 yards and four touchdowns in a losing effort. The Lakewood, New York, native is just the third quarterback in program history to throw for 3,000 yards in a season.
While playing with the Scarlet Knights, Snyder appeared in nine games over three seasons (2019-2021). The former Rutgers quarterback recorded 21 completions on 31 attempts for 165 yards and a touchdown. He finished his Rutgers career with a 68 percent completion rating, averaging 18.3 throwing yards per game. In 2021, Snyder earned Academic All-Big Ten honors while appearing in six games that season.
The transfer portal entry window opens on December 4, but players can announce their transfer intentions before then, as Synder and many others will decide their future in the upcoming days.
