Georgia running back Trevor Etienne is no longer facing DUI charges after pleading no contest to reckless driving, underage possession of alcohol and two other lesser driving offenses on Wednesday.

Etienne, who was arrested on March 24, appeared at a hearing in Athens-Clarke County (Ga.) Municipal Court.

“We’re pleased the evidence didn’t support the DUI charge to begin with,” Etienne’s attorney Kim Stephens told the Athens Banner-Herald. “We’re pleased the solicitor’s office saw that and agreed to something that wasn’t a DUI.”

The 20-year-old Etienne is expected to be Georgia’s lead ball carrier after two seasons at Florida.

Etienne was arrested by Athens-Clarke Couty police on charges of drunken driving, affixing materials that reduce visibility through the windows or windshield and failure to maintain a lane or improper driving.

It’s unclear if Etienne will play in Georgia’s season opener on Aug. 31 against visiting Clemson. Athletes convicted of DUI face a minimum of a one-game suspension, per Georgia’s team policy.

At Florida, Etienne — the younger the brother of Jacksonville Jaguars running back Travis Etienne — rushed for 14 touchdowns and 1,472 yards on 249 carries in two seasons.
