Georgia running back Trevor Etienne is looking to follow in his brother Travis’ footsteps, thanks to a standout career at Georgia. But where might Etienne hear his name called in the 2025 NFL Draft? Below, we check out his 2024 season stats, mock draft projection, and much more.
Where Did Trevor Etienne Project in Our 7-Round NFL Mock Draft?
In the latest mock draft from Pro Football Network NFL Draft Analyst Ian Cummings, Etienne went in the fifth round at No. 146 by the Miami Dolphins.
While Miami has De’Von Achane and Jaylen Wright in the fold, a replacement for Raheem Mostert will be needed eventually. Head coach Mike McDaniel consistently schemes to get his backs in space which could be a boon for Etienne.
Potential NFL Landing Spots for Etienne
According to PFN’s updated NFL team needs, these are a few of the organizations that should prioritize running back in the 2025 NFL Draft.
Etienne’s Scouting Report and Measurements
- Height: 5’9″
- Weight: 205 pounds
- Position: Running Back
- School: Georgia
- Current Year: Junior
The older Etienne would go on to be selected by the Jacksonville Jaguars with the 25th pick in the 2021 NFL Draft, and he’s since become an impact starter for his franchise. His brother, Trevor, now appears to be hot on his heels.
The younger Etienne was a highly touted four-star recruit. After rushing for 1,344 yards and 20 touchdowns on just 109 carries as a senior at Jennings High School in Louisiana, he signed with the Florida Gators to kick-start his collegiate career.
In two years at Florida, Etienne logged 1,472 yards and 14 TDs at almost six yards per carry, splitting a little over 700 yards each season. He’s been reasonably productive, but there’s still a sense the best is yet to come for the younger Etienne.
Entering the 2025 NFL Draft cycle, Etienne grades out as a fringe top-100 prospect who could potentially rise up the board into Day 2 with a strong 2024 campaign. He may not go in Round 1 like his brother did, but he has the tools to be a dynamic catalyst in an NFL rotation.
Much like his brother was at the collegiate level, the younger Etienne is one of the most effortless accelerators on the CFB stage.
Etienne has hyper-elite explosive capacity and elite lateral agility, made more potent by his smooth flexibility in tight spaces and when attacking vertically.
Further, Etienne is an instinctive runner with great creative instincts and vision — both in congested areas and in the open field at the second and third levels. He can set up blocks, press and displace defenders, adapt amidst early contact threats, and manipulate the field later in reps.
The foundation of Etienne’s profile is very strong. But at 5’9″, 205 pounds, he is a bit undersized. That size saps at Etienne’s contact balance and forward-pressing force at times, and even with his good natural leverage, he sometimes runs with his pads too high, which can negate base load.
For a back like Etienne — who is dynamic but undersized and not overly physical — the receiving game has to be a strength. Right now, it isn’t yet for Etienne. He flashes promise, and his skill set theoretically translates well, but he needs more volume to prove himself.
Still, with his hyper-elite explosiveness, conducive creative skill set, and stellar baseline vision, Etienne can be a solid NFL running back with some volume ability and big-play potential. And if he can keep improving in the receiving phase, he can be a two-phase, three-down sparkplug.
Etienne’s 2024 Season Stats and Game Breakdowns
- Rushing Yards: 422
- Carries: 82
- Touchdowns: 7
- Catches: 20
- Receiving Yards: 130
Georgia’s leading rusher and fourth-highest pass catcher (20 receptions), Etienne has been a pivotal part of the Bulldogs’ offense.
Etienne is coming off his best game of the year with a three-touchdown day in a win over then-No. 1 Texas. He finished with 19 carries for 87 rushing and added three catches for 23 yards.
