Georgia football’s Trevor Etienne makes first move after 2025 NFL Draft declaration

Georgia football running back Trevor Etienne made his first move since officially declaring for the 2025 NFL Draft. The Bulldogs are facing a lot of departures this offseason, including quarterback Carson Beck, who is transferring to Miami. Kirby Smart must rebuild a team coming off a tough quarterfinal loss in the College Football Playoff. Unfortunately, the No. 2 Bulldogs were a victim of health and dropped to a red-hot Notre Dame team 23-10 in the 2025 Sugar Bowl.

After transferring from Florida last offseason, Etienne came into 2024 with high expectations. The junior played a huge role in the Bulldogs’ SEC Championship game victory over No. 3 Texas. Technically, Etienne is within the window to withdraw his name from the draft, but this most recent report suggests that he’s played his final game in Athens.

According to National Insider for NFL Network Ian Rapoport, Etienne has accepted his invitation to the Senior Bowl. The younger brother of Jacksonville Jaguars running back Travis Etienne, Trevor projects as a late-round pick.
