No! I WON’T!! Georgia Bulldogs Star Trevor Etienne DECLINED Contract Deal Request from Alabama, Auburn, and Clemson. This is Because…
The college football landscape has been rocked by the news that Georgia Bulldogs running back Trevor Etienne has turned down major transfer offers from Alabama, Auburn, and Clemson. Despite aggressive recruitment efforts and substantial NIL deals on the table, Etienne has made it clear—he’s staying in Athens to chase championships with Georgia.
Etienne: “Georgia is where I belong”
Since joining the Bulldogs, Etienne has been a key piece of Georgia’s dominant offense. His elite speed, vision, and power have made him one of the most explosive running backs in the SEC. With the transfer portal buzzing and powerhouse programs like Alabama, Auburn, and Clemson looking for a game-changing playmaker, many believed Etienne could be lured away.
But the Bulldogs’ star shut down any speculation with an emphatic response—”No! I WON’T!!”
“Georgia isn’t just a team—it’s my home,” Etienne reportedly told sources close to the program. “I respect those other programs, but my heart is with the Dawgs. We have unfinished business.”
Alabama, Auburn, and Clemson Miss Out—Georgia Wins Big
The attempts by Alabama, Auburn, and Clemson to land Etienne were not surprising. With their rich histories and recent coaching changes shaking up recruiting strategies, they were eager to add a proven SEC running back to their rosters. NIL offers were reportedly substantial, but Georgia’s culture, winning tradition, and Etienne’s personal loyalty won the battle.
Within Georgia’s locker room, Etienne’s decision has been met with excitement. Head coach Kirby Smart has built a powerhouse in Athens, and keeping one of his top offensive weapons ensures the Bulldogs remain favorites for another national title run.
What’s Next for Etienne and the Bulldogs?
By rejecting these offers, Trevor Etienne has solidified his commitment to Georgia’s championship aspirations. With another year under Smart’s leadership, he will be one of the key figures in the Bulldogs’ offense as they push for another SEC and national title.
For Alabama, Auburn, and Clemson, missing out on Etienne is a significant setback. But for Georgia, it’s a massive win—the Bulldogs aren’t just recruiting at a high level, they’re keeping their stars right where they belong.
