Texas Tech Transfer Running Back Quinten Joyner Sustains Season-Ending Knee Injury

Texas Tech must adjust its offense after losing Quinten Joyner, a top transfer running back, to a season-ending knee injury before the 2025 season starts.

  • After sustaining the knee injury on Aug. 16 during the second preseason scrimmage at Jones AT&T Stadium, Quintaelyn "Quinten" Joyner will miss the 2025 season, Texas Tech confirmed on Aug. 18.
  • After transferring from USC last December, Texas Tech sophomore running back Quintaelyn "Quinten" Joyner was projected as a starter and rated among the top transfer portal backs.
  • According to coach Joey McGuire, Joyner, a USC transfer, had 478 yards on 63 carries and a reception touchdown last season, and the injury was noncontact.
  • In response, McGuire said Cameron Dickey and J'Koby Williams, who combined for 81 carries, 461 yards, and three touchdowns last season, will take on larger roles.
  • Despite the injury, Texas Tech opens on August 30 against Arkansas-Pine Bluff and still has an 11.8% chance to win the Big 12, remaining a conference favorite.
