Florida running back Trevor Etienne is transferring to Georgia, he told On3 on Sunday.

The top-ranked running back in the transfer portal this offseason will join the Bulldogs after their 12–1 season. The Gators went 5–7 and failed to qualify for a bowl game this season. Georgia will play in the Orange Bowl against Florida State on Saturday.

Etienne led the Gators with eight rushing touchdowns in 2023 and ranked second on the team with 753 rushing yards. He also recorded 21 receptions for 172 yards with one touchdown catch this season. The tailback played two seasons for the Gators before entering the transfer portal.

Etienne’s decision to transfer was difficult for the Gators community to digest. Etienne’s mother even posted on X, formerly known as Twitter, to publicly defend her son’s decision.

Etienne’s brother, Jacksonville Jaguars running back Travis Etienne, played for Clemson from 2017 through ’20. He was a two-time ACC Player of the Year.
