Expert Analysis
Connor Jackson | Prep Redzone Scout
Joyner has steadily seen his offer list grow since last fall, and is firmly on the D1 radar. Joyner is a deceptive, efficient route runner with the juice to separate both before and after the catch. He is a major YAC threat with the ability to get himself out of tough spots. A good test of how deceptive and hard to tackle a player is, is to watch how defenders in his area react when engaging. Against Joyner, they consistently find themselves sliding all over the place and frequently end up on their backside. Joyner is reliable, but also a big play threat.

A speedy, under-the-radar wideout in Dekalb County who deserves more recognition, Joyner is a big-play wideout who can really run and get behind defensive backs down the field. He’s a weapon after the catch, eluding defenders with ease as he picks up big yards down the field. He was a consistent pass-catcher throughout the season for a Tucker Tigers program that has no problem producing D1 talent. Now, Joyner has been added to the latest 2027 Prep Redzone rankings after an impressive junior season where he caught 20 passes for 507 yards and nine touchdowns, averaging 25 yards per catch along the way. Look for those numbers to only increase in 2026.

Read EvaluationMatt DeBary | Prep Redzone Scout
A speedy Dekalb County wide receiver to know about in Tucker, Joyner was a big-play machine last year who brought some explosiveness to the Tigers offense. He’s a fluid runner who can slip past defensive backs and make big plays down the field. He’s tough to bring down from behind and made every catch matter last season as a junior. He only caught 20 passes, but he took them for 521 yards and nine touchdowns in just 10 games. One of the top receivers in the region, Joyner averaged just under 25 yards a catch and should see more offers come his way this spring.
