GAINESVILLE, Fla. — If you can't beat them, join them.
Trevor Etienne seems to be following the old proverb.
The former Florida Gators running back announced Sunday on social media that he's transferring to rival Georgia.
Etienne, who entered the transfer portal after the Gators finished 5-7 this season, split carries with Montrell Johnson Jr., rushing for 753 yards and a team-leading eight rushing touchdowns.
He'll likely get the opportunity to be the featured back for the Bulldogs, who are losing their top two rushers from the 2023 season.
The Gators have lost the past three meetings against their Southeastern Conference rivals, including a 43-20 loss in October.
Etienne is the younger brother of former Clemson and current Jacksonville Jaguars running back Travis Etienne.
