Syracuse defensive tackle John Raymon will undergo season-ending surgery for a right knee injury, according to SU Athletics.

Raymon flew back with the team after Syracuse’s 56-0 loss to Georgia Tech on Saturday and spent the night in Crouse Hospital for observation. Drs. Brad Raphael and. Irving Raphael will perform the surgery “in the coming weeks.”

“First off, let’s start off the right way here,” SU head coach Scott Shafer said, opening his postgame press conference. “Thinking about John Raymon. He had a tough injury.”

With less than a minute left in the second quarter, Georgia Tech left guard Will Jackson dove onto Raymon’s right leg, which was fully flexed as Raymon tried to push through center Jay Finch. He collapsed as players from both sides of the ball fell onto him. He remained lying on his back for about four minutes.

Medical trainers looked at his knee before applying an air cast. Raymon was then carted off the field in a stretcher.

In six-plus games this season, Raymon logged seven total tackles, 1.5 sacks and a blocked kick.
