Florida RB Trevor Etienne enters the transfer portal with 2 years of
eligibility remaining
By The Associated Press
Florida running back Trevor Etienne, who led the Gators with nine touchdowns
and emerged as one of the team's most dynamic playmakers, entered the transfer
portal Thursday.
The younger brother of former Clemson star and Jacksonville Jaguars running
back Travis Etienne ran for 753 yards and eight touchdowns as a sophomore
despite playing behind a shaky offensive line. He also had 172 yards receiving
and a score while sharing time with Montrell Johnson.
Etienne and Johnson, a junior who followed coach Billy Napier from
Louisiana-Lafayette, have become close friends during their two years in
Gainesville. And Etienne would like to see both become primary ball-carriers so
they can improve their NFL draft stock.
"My time as a Gator was an invaluable experience and one that I will cherish
for years to come," Etienne said in social-media posts announcing his decision.
He will have two years of eligibility remaining. He joins a growing list of
Florida players who have entered the portal, including pass rusher Princely
Umanmielen, receiver Caleb Douglas and defensive linemen Will Norman and Chris
McClellan.
