One of the most thrilling pieces of news circulating on social media right now is about Trevor Etienne who could potentially join his rival team for the next season. His decision to join the transfer portal last week sent a wave of sadness over fans. The star Florida Gators RB has eyes on three top college programs and one of them is their division rival. 

Trevor Etienne still has two seasons of eligibility in his hands as a rising junior and is one of the best players in Florida. The fact that he’s not just leaving the program, but is also speculating on his chances of joining his rival team didn’t sit well with Florida fans. But still, Etienne knows his right to choose what he knows would be best for his career. 

Trevor Etienne leaves Florida with a potential commitment to Georgia

Imagine facing the wrath and disapproval of Florida fans after leaving the program to join their big rival who has an edge in almost everything! According to a recent report by On3 Sports Pete Nakos, Georgia is the favorite program to recruit Florida star RB Trevor Etienne. As he stated earlier, the top three teams he’s considering are Alabama, Ohio State, and Georgia. But as the time for his commitment draws closer, he seems to be gravitating toward the team they couldn’t beat in their rivalry game this year. 

It is common knowledge that Florida and Georgia meet together in their division rivalry game which was known as the World’s Largest Outdoor Cocktail Party. In their last meeting on October 28 this season, the Bulldogs defeated the Gators 43-20. Per Georgia, they lead the rivalry series 56-44-2 with their last win marking their third straight victory over Florida.
