How old is Travis Etienne?

After a strong collegiate career, quickly establishing himself in the NFL landscape as a running back is the Jacksonville Jaguars’ Travis Etienne. Born to a nurse, Donnetta, both Travis and his younger brother Trevor showcased remarkable football abilities from a young age. While attending Jennings in High School in his hometown of Jennings, Etienne rushed for close to 2,500 yards as a senior, while totaling more than 8,800 yards in his career. A four-star recruit, he chose Clemson University as his destination for college football. In the meanwhile, Trevor is instead attending the Gators program at the University of Florida.

From his freshman season, Travis led the school in rushing despite being part of a strong running game that included names like Adam Choice and C.J. Fuller, while also hosting a dual-threat quarterback. In his sophomore season, Etienne became a major contributor to a Clemson side that would go on to win the College Football National Championship. More than doubling his yards from his first year, Travis led the entire FBS in touchdowns. Named ACC Offensive Player and Player of the Year, he continued his strong play in the ACC Championship Game, where he was named MVP in a winning performance.

He doubled those award trophies in his junior year, where he also became the first Clemson RB to record 3 200-yard games in a career. He led the entire ACC in rushing touchdowns while being second in the FBS for average yards in each carry. Returning for his senior year, Etienne was sharp as ever, as he broke the all-time FBS record for most games with a touchdown and the total career rushing yards record. Meanwhile, he also became the record-holder for touchdowns and total points.

With a strong collegiate career behind him, Travis headed for the 2021 NFL Draft.

Travis Etienne's Age

Travis Etienne Jr. was born on January 26th, 1999 in Jennings, Louisiana where he spent the majority of his childhood, including his high school days. As of August 2023, Travis Etienne is 24 years old. Just getting started at the professional level, Etienne has a good 7-8 years of his prime as a running back.

Despite the position being notoriously injury-prone, Travis has avoided any unfortunate circumstances during his four-year career at the collegiate level. However, after being selected by the Jacksonville Jaguars with the 21st overall pick, it wasn’t long before the physicality of the NFL claimed another victim. While he was reunited with Trevor Lawrence, his QB in his college days. In their second preseason game, Travis suffered a Lisfranc injury that was later revealed to be a significant tear causing him to miss the entire season post-surgery.

However, the injury did not slow him down as he was crucial to the Jaguars' playoff run in 2022. While he was coming off the bench with most of the start of the season, his promotion to the starting lineup post James Robinson trade, allowed the Jaguars to flourish. Starting a late season push, he totaled over 100 yards in 4 games during the course of the remained for the season, bringing his season total to over 1,000 yards. He recorded a superb 109-yard game in the Jaguars’ playoff victory against the Los Angeles Chargers. The third-largest comeback in playoff history would have been all for naught if it wasn’t for Etienne setting up the field goal with a 25-yard run on the Jaguars’ final drive.

While he was slow to arrive at the party, Travis has firmly cemented himself in the Jaguars lineup. With a jump from both him and quarterback Trevor Lawrence, Jacksonville could be a sneaky pick in a loaded AFC.
