New Georgia RB Trevor Etienne Eviscerates Florida Gators During First Comments About His Transfer

Trevor Etienne Georgia Florida

Travis Etienne’s little brother, Trevor Etienne, transferred from Florida to Georgia during the offseason. The 19-year-old running back made a move within the SEC East after spending two seasons in Gainesville.

It was a decision that sent shockwaves across the entire conference and college football as a whole.

Etienne joins a Bulldogs backfield that is set to lose Daijun Edwards and Kendall Milton to the NFL Draft after rushing for more than 1,400 yards with the Gators. He has a legitimate opportunity to serve as the primary ball-carrier in Athens on a team that expects to compete for a national championship next season.

The same cannot be said about Florida. Not only did Etienne finish behind Montrell Johnson in touches last season, head coach Billy Napier is firmly on the hot seat in 2024. He must win. A third-straight losing season for will result in his ouster and there is not a lot of hope for the Gators to get better.

That was the primary factor in their running back’s decision to leave.

He recently spoke about his decision for the first time during a conversation with Tate Ratledge on Real Talk. Etienne eviscerated his former program.

For me, it was like, “does the good outweigh the bad?”

I’ve been with Florida for two years. I went through that whole process of rebuilding, it’s kind of still rebuilding. I felt like there was a lot of uncertainty, so like, a lot of questions were unanswered. There’s a lot of unknown going on. I felt like, I can stay [at Florida] and do what what I’ve been doing for another year or two, or bet on myself and take a chance somewhere else.

That thought process is entirely fair. Etienne is speaking his truth.

And then came the kicker. The kill shot, if you will.

Pretty much to sum it up, it was like, I can either be Running Back 2 on a losing team or go somewhere — I wanted to play in December, too. That also played a big part in me transferring. So I said, I can stay Running Back 2 on a losing team or go somewhere and possibly be Running Back 1 and win a natty.

— Trevor Etienne

While Etienne’s comments are not invalid, they ruffled a lot of feathers in the Sunshine State. Florida fans are furious. The players (and Napier) will surely use his bold statement as bulletin board material.

That’s great, but it probably doesn’t matter. Etienne is right.

There is no reason that his new program should lose to his former program. There is a near-zero percent chance that his new program finishes below his former program.

Georgia expects to be one of the top seeds in the first-ever 12-team College Football Playoff. Florida will be lucky to make a bowl game…
