Is Trevor Etienne to Nebraska an imminent move as Florida RB gets mired in transfer portal rumors?

Florida Gators running back Trevor Etienne has entered the transfer portal and has fans wondering where he will go next. The tailback has managed to record two consecutive seasons of more than 700 yards but hasn't quite managed to break the ceiling of 1000 yards yet.

This Tuesday, rumors started swirling that the sophomore would be visiting the Nebraska Cornhuskers' campus up in Lincoln. That was surprising for many, considering that experts have Trevor Etienne as the top running back in the nation.

While the Gators are not exactly title contenders at the moment, they are a storied program ranked at least a couple of weeks every year. But being a storied program is also their problem, as all their titles belong to the past century.

Other potential landing spots for Trevor Etienne

The landing spot that has emerged as the most likely for Etienne is a Florida rival: The Georgia Bulldogs. Athens, Georgia, makes much more sense for the player than Lincoln, Nebraska.

Georgia is one of the top football programs in the nation, and while it didn't qualify for this year's CFP, it did win the previous two editions.

With two years of eligibility left, Etienne could be a mighty good pickup by Kirby Smart as he looks to strengthen a Bulldogs side for an SEC that will now include Oklahoma and Texas.

Trevor Etienne's numbers

Etienne had 753 rushing yards this year, with 8 touchdowns on 131 carries. All those numbers are career highs for the young running back. He also recorded 172 receiving yards, with one touchdown on 21 catches.

In 2022, he had 719 rushing yards, with 6 touchdowns on 118 carries. His receptions were modest, with 66 yards and no touchdowns in nine catches. Those numbers were more than enough to give him SEC All-Freshman Team honors that season.
