Big-bodied former four-star who became a special-teams value piece for Michigan State
Joiner’s appeal was never just raw box-score production: at 6-3, 210, he arrived as a former four-star with a power-first profile, strong tackle-breaking ability, and enough size to add a physical edge in the run game.[3] At Michigan State in 2023, he was used heavily on special teams, appearing in nine games and logging 123 special-teams snaps, which suggests coaches trusted his toughness and consistency more than his offensive volume.[6] If you want a depth RB/utility player who brings size, effort, and role acceptance, he fit the mold; if you need an explosive high-usage runner, he was more complementary than featured.[2][6]
