What consequences will Georgia RB Trevor Etienne face following DUI arrest?

College football has always been a big deal in this country, with the likes of Caleb Williams, Shedeur Sanders, and many more young prospects becoming household names even before making it to the NFL. The community loves to watch young talent develop from their alma mater and go on to shine in the big leagues.

However, on a few occasions, the massive popularity surge for the players rushes to their heads, and they go on to indulge in immature activities that tarnish the image of their alma mater as well as their reputation in the footballing circuits. In the case of Georgia RB Trevor Etienne, it looks like it might turn out in the same vein.

What punishment will Trevor Etienne receive after DUI arrest?

Trevor Etienne, a promising RB for Georgia, was arrested on Sunday morning on four charges, including one of a misdemeanor. Apparently, one of his charges also included driving under the influence, something that has become increasingly common among college athletes.

College Football journalist and enthusiast Lance McCurley uploaded his full list of wrongdoings on X (formerly Twitter) and also announced the fact that he is likely to reserve a 1-2 game suspension from Georgia, which is equivalent to a slap on the wrist for the number of charges that have gone up against the 19-year-old.

“We are aware of the charges and are currently in the process of gathering additional information,” said Steven Drummond, according to ESPN. “This is a pending legal matter and we will not have further comment at this time.”

How will recent charges affect Trevor Etienne’s career?

These charges faced by an exciting prospect in Trevor Etienne will surely peg him back a few years and might have a bearing on his eventual step up to the NFL. Running back is a very in-demand position in offense-heavy franchises that need speed and agility down the line. Reports suggest that Etienne had already been looked at by a number of professional outfits who were likely to secure his services in a few years.

As soon as the news of his arrest made its way to social media, the NFL community across the county expressed their opinions on another promising young athlete going down the wrong path. One user echoed the sentiment by saying, “Driving under the influence is not cool. I don’t get it,” while another quipped, “Bro Georgia needa start educating their draft prospects on getting into legal trouble before the draft.”
