Tarence Guinyard has quickly established himself as one of the premier guards in the Atlantic 10 Conference. Now at Duquesne University, he ranks third in the league in scoring (16.4) and second in assists (5.0), powering the Dukes to a fifth-place standing entering the A-10 Tournament. His production and control of the game has elevated Duquesne into a legitimate postseason contender, as Guinyard continues to prove he can impact winning at the highest level of mid-major basketball.

Before arriving in Pittsburgh, Guinyard starred at the University of Tennessee at Martin, where he averaged 16.3 points per game and earned All-OVC First Team honors in 2024-25. Prior to UTM, he was a dominant force at Florida State College at Jacksonville, compiling over 1,300 career points and earning FCSAA Region 8 Player of the Year honors while leading the program to its first NJCAA national tournament win. From junior college standout to All-Conference Division I guard, Guinyard’s climb has been built on his efficient scoring ability and an elite court vision.

Now, with Duquesne surging and championship aspirations, Guinyard’s impact is peaking at the perfect time. A proven scorer at every level—from high school to junior college to Division I—he’s evolved into a dynamic playmaker capable of controlling games in multiple ways. As the conference tournament unfolds, Guinyard has both the résumé and momentum to leave an even bigger mark.
