Texas Tech running back Quinten Joyner will miss the 2025 season after suffering a knee injury during a scrimmage on Saturday.
Joyner, a sophomore, was a projected starter for the Red Raiders after transferring in from Southern California in the offseason.
'I hate it so much for him, just because of how well he has done in the spring, summer and camp,' Texas Tech coach Joey McGuire said on his podcast on Monday. '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. ... He's really taken to it, so it's unfortunate.'
The 5-foot-11, 215-pound Joyner had 478 yards and three touchdowns on 63 carries at USC last season. He added another 89 yards and a touchdown on 12 receptions.
The Red Raiders are the No. 23 team in the preseason AP poll.
