The Georgia Bulldogs’ 2025 offense will have a different look without star running back Trevor Etienne. After a single season with the Bulldogs, the junior running back has declared for the 2025 NFL draft. Initial reports indicated that Etienne would return to school, but in a change of heart he’s headed to the NFL.
Etienne joined Georgia as a transfer after spending the first two seasons of his college football career with Florida. Etienne led the team in rushing yards per game (60.9), totaling 609 yards on 122 carries and scoring a team-high nine rushing touchdowns. The Florida transfer missed significant time in November due to injury and being suspended for the Dawgs’ Week 1 game against Clemson.
Trevor Etienne saved his best performances for the Texas Longhorns. In two matchups, the Jennings, Louisiana, native totaled five touchdowns and over 200 all-purpose yards. This included a 110-yard, three-touchdown performance in the initial meeting against Texas. Etienne also had a dominant SEC championship game where he rushed for a season-high 94 yards, recorded 28 receiving yards, and scored both of his team’s touchdowns, including the game-winner.
Etienne’s 2024 campaign earned him a spot on the All-SEC third team.
With Etienne’s departure, expect freshman running back Nate Frazier to take over the majority of the carries in his sophomore campaign along with Cash Jones returning for his senior season.
It is hard to blame Etienne for leaving. Georgia’s offensive line lost four starters after struggling in 2024.
