Quinten Joyner, Texas Tech sophomore running back and projected starter, will miss the 2025 season due to a knee injury from a scrimmage. Joyner, who transferred from USC after finishing second in rushing yards with 478 last season, was praised by coach Joey McGuire for his performance in spring, summer, and training camp. McGuire noted Joyner's adaptation to new responsibilities but called the injury unfortunate. Texas Tech has running back depth, including sophomores J'Koby Williams and Cameron Dickey, who contributed significantly last fall. The team is currently ranked No. 23 in the AP preseason poll.
I hate it so much for him, just because of how well he has done in the spring, summer and camp. He has really come in here and been a pro, and we've asked him to do a lot of stuff that he hasn't done before.
Joyner left USC to return to his home state, as he attended Manor High School outside Austin, the same school as departing Texas Tech running back Tahj Brooks.
Texas Tech is fortunate to have some depth at running back, which includes sophomores J'Koby Williams and Cameron Dickey, who combined for 81 carries, 461 rushing yards and three touchdowns last fall.
