Albany State’s dual-threat QB with championship pedigree and real-field leadership
Joyner’s profile is less about flash and more about winning DNA: he was the starting quarterback on Dougherty’s 1998 state title team and later led Albany State to the 2004 SIAC championship and a 2004 Pioneer Bowl win. His game has long been defined by toughness, mobility, and poise under pressure—he finished his Albany State career with 4,090 passing yards, 29 passing touchdowns, plus 1,041 rushing yards and 16 rushing scores. For a team, that signals a quarterback who can extend plays, command a huddle, and bring experienced, championship-tested leadership.
