The Georgia Bulldogs have seen numerous players enter the transfer portal, but it is nothing compared to what the Florida Gators are experiencing. Today, star Florida running back Trevor Etienne elected to enter the transfer portal. Etienne joins over a dozen Gators in the portal.
Florida’s top edge rusher, Princely Umanmielen, entered the transfer portal earlier this offseason along with talented safety Kamari Wilson.
Things are tough for Florida fans. The Gators have not had a winning season since the 2020 college football season, which was when the shoe-throw incident occurred. The Gators do have a strong incoming recruiting class, but that could unravel fast.
Contrarily, Georgia football has won two recent national championships and has three consecutive undefeated regular seasons since the shoe throw.
Florida football fans are running out of patience after a 5-7 season. The transfer portal is purging the Gators’ roster and Florida fans are very concerned about how things are going under head coach Billy Napier.
A lot of Napier's initial signing class is in the portal

Florida football is a mess
Let's be immensely clear: Anyone tweeting "fire Billy Napier" as a gut reaction to anything/everything negative at Florida is not only being reactionary but overlooking key element.
A firing would be needed above Napier before a coaching change should even be discussed. #Gators

Etienne to Colorado?
Colorado could be a school to look out for to land Florida RB Trevor Etienne.

Gators aren't the only one impacted
I love college football 🏈 and especially all things Florida Gators 🐊 NOT a fan of what the transfer portal and unregulated NIL 💵 has done to the game. Sad to see. #CollegeFootball

Ouch
Florida RB Trevor Etienne has entered the transfer portal, @TheAthletic has learned.
That's a huge one. The younger brother of Travis Etienne has rushed for 1,472 yards and scored 15 TDs in his two season with the Gators.

Players have every right to transfer
when a good player thinks there might a better opportunity out there than staying on a 5-7 team https://t.co/0nTxRBHRS3 pic.twitter.com/okM34fTFVW
