Yes, this is Travis Etienne’s younger brother. This is not the twin of Travis who totaled 6,701 yards and 78 touchdowns in his four seasons at Clemson. Trevor only managed 2,513 yards and 24 touchdowns in his three years at two colleges.
After a successful high school career, Trevor committed to play for Florida over LSU or his brother’s Clemson. As a freshman, he shared the backfield with Montrell Johnson while quarterback Anthony Richardson also rushed the ball. While Richardson left for the NFL in 2023, Etienne still shared the backfield with Johnson.
As a junior, Etienne entered the transfer portal and went to Georgia. He again provided about half of the backfield carries while sharing with Nate Frazier. There’s plenty of tread on the tires, having never run more than 131 times in any of his three seasons. He declared for the NFL draft rather than return to the Bulldogs for his senior season.
Height: 5-9
Weight: 198 pounds
40 time: 4.42 seconds
Etienne was one of the lightest running backs in the 2025 NFL Combine but ran a respectable 4.42 40-time. He may lack the power and speed of his brother, but Etienne still rates as a valuable addition to an NFL roster.
Trevor Etienne stats (2022-24)
Pros
- Versatile back that runs and catches
- Effective in space setting up defenders to miss
- Elusive rusher with good vision

- Capable receiver with strong hands
- Strong blocker in pass protection
- Will only be 21 years old as a rookie
Cons
- Lacks size and strength for much inside rushing through traffic
- Only average burst and speed good but not elite
- Always part of committee backfield at both colleges
- Effective on screens and wheel routes, but still needs more development as a receiver
Fantasy Outlook
Trevor Etienne has shown an ability to shed tackles and elude defenders, but his size and speed won’t likely play as well at the pro level. After three seasons in college, he never had more than 152 touches and still needs to develop. But he was consistently productive with what he was given in college and he plays bigger than his size, even as a rusher finishing runs.
He is expected to be an early Day 3 pick and projects more as a third-down type in the NFL. But like any player in his situation, he could develop into much more in the NFL, given the right landing spot and the opportunity to grow into a larger role. His fantasy value will depend greatly on the offense around him and how they use him.
Even if he lands in a less-than-ideal situation, he’ll be worth tracking and sticking on the back end of a fantasy roster to see if anything happens.
