Josh Joyner brings Missouri State a home-run threat with elite burst
Joyner is a **speed-and-acceleration back** who profiles as a change-of-pace weapon for Missouri State, with EA’s 2026 ratings giving him a 79 OVR, 91 speed and 93 acceleration; that explosiveness is the clear selling point, even if he’s still light and not built to win with power. He had limited college production at Washington State in 2024, but his recruiting/roster background and return ability suggest a versatile, space-oriented fit for an offense that wants instant big-play juice. If your team wants a tough, between-the-tackles bruiser, he’s not that guy; if you want a dynamic perimeter playmaker, he’s intriguing.
