Trevor Etienne: RB · Georgia · #1.
Closest statistical matches, adjusted for opponent strength.
Trevor Etienne
Wins in space out of the backfield. Played for two head coaches at two programs in three seasons: Billy Napier and Kirby Smart. The first career honor came in 2024: All-SEC. On tape: 94 rushing yards and 28 receiving yards against Texas, Week 15, 2024.
Play style
Deployed as a receiver as much as a runner. Value is in space, not between the tackles.
Boom vs consistent · carry-yardage shape
Steady, not spectacular
Just 26.0% of the season's rushing yards came on the 5 best carries — remarkably even — and the back is stuffed on 17.2% of carries. 6 carries for 24 yds vs Ole Miss; 16 for 94 vs Texas.
Counted from the play-by-play, so a carry or two can differ from the box score.
Closer · Q4-with-lead carry share
The closer
30.4% of carries overall (121/398) → 22.6% of Q4-with-lead carries (19/84) — 100.0% of those in competitive (≤16-pt) games.
Counted from the play-by-play, so a carry or two can differ from the box score.
