Jah Joyner is a former collegiate defensive end who represented Minnesota from 2020 to 2024. Joyner is one of the draft prospects in the 2025 NFL draft. Joyner attended Danbury High School in his hometown, where he began his football journey. He wore No.76 for his high school football team, the Hatters, as reported by the University of Minnesota Athletics. Joyner accounted for 24 sacks combining his senior and junior seasons. Joyner ran a 4.6-second 40-yard dash and 1.67-second 10-yard split at the 2025 NFL Combine, as recorded by NFL’s official website.
Revisiting Joyner’s post-high school career, he appeared in 43 games for the Gophers in his five-year collegiate tenure. The 6'4 edge’s career path at Minnesota saw a steady improvement. His first two years in Gophers' uniform saw him get negligible game day action.
