Texas Tech football RB Quinten Joyner on leaving USC, Tahj Brooks ties
Quinten Joyner rushed for 478 yards last season for Southern Cal. The Texas Tech football newcomer follows fellow Manor product Tahj Brooks at Tech.
Running back Quinten Joyner will miss the season with a knee injury, the Texas Tech football program confirmed on Monday, Aug. 18.
The transfer from Southern California suffered the injury during the team’s second preseason scrimmage on Saturday at Jones AT&T Stadium.
Joyner, a sophomore from Manor, went into preseason camp atop the depth chart at running back. Now the duties will shift to sophomores J’Koby Williams and Cameron Dickey, both of whom played virtually the entire season last year. Both carried 41 times, Williams for 236 yards and 2 touchdowns, Dickey for 225 yards and 1 TD.
After 1,500-yard rusher Tahj Brooks opted out of the Liberty Bowl last season, Williams was named Tech’s outstanding offensive player of the game. He rushed 15 times for 123 yards, including a 54-yard touchdown in the loss to Arkansas.
Joyner is part of Tech’s heralded class of 22 transfers, picking the Red Raiders over Ohio State.
He was Southern Call’s second-leading rusher last season, carrying 63 times for 478 yards and 3 touchdowns and catching 12 passes for 89 yards and a TD.
