Etienne and Blanton Declare for NFL Draft

Two notable college football players have declared for the 2025 NFL Draft. Stone Blanton, a linebacker who transferred from South Carolina to Mississippi State, announced his decision after a standout season with 124 tackles at Mississippi State. Trevor Etienne, a running back who transferred from Florida to Georgia, also declared for the draft despite a challenging season marked by injuries and a suspension. Etienne contributed significantly to Georgia's victories, including scoring the winning touchdown in the SEC championship overtime against Texas. His decision follows a season where he rushed for 609 yards and scored nine touchdowns despite missing games due to a rib injury. Both players are moving on to the professional level, leaving significant gaps in their respective college teams' rosters.
