Quinten Joyner is Texas Tech’s explosive, three-down RB wild card
Quinten Joyner enters the 2026 season as a high-upside Texas Tech back with proven burst: in the 2024 season at USC, he rushed for 478 yards on 63 carries, averaging 7.6 yards per carry, and added 12 catches, showing legit home-run ability and receiving chops. He was viewed as a top 2026 NFL Draft RB prospect and a true three-down back, but his 2025 season was wiped out by a knee injury/ACL rehab, so the big question is durability and rust. If healthy, he fits as a dynamic, versatile playmaker.
