If you can’t beat ‘em, join ‘em: Trevor Etienne transferring from Gators to Bulldogs

Georgia is adding a big weapon to its backfield at the expense of its biggest rival.

Trevor Etienne, the younger brother of former Clemson star and Jaguars running back Travis Etienne, announced on Sunday that he is transferring to the Bulldogs. Etienne rushed for 753 yards and eight touchdowns as a sophomore. That came in spite of running behind a shaky offensive line and the overall struggles in coach Billy Napier’s second season in Gainesville.

Etienne joins Cash Jones, Branson Robinson and Len’Neth Whitehead in Georgia’s backfield.

Top Georgia backs Daijun Edwards and Kendall Milton, the team’s top rushers this year, are both seniors. Starting quarterback Carson Beck, a Mandarin High School graduate, has also announced his return to Georgia.
