Tuscaloosa, AL – In a shocking move, the Alabama Crimson Tide have signed former Clemson Tigers running back Travis Etienne. Etienne, a two-time ACC Player of the Year, has decided to leave Clemson and join the Crimson Tide for his final season of eligibility.
“We’re thrilled to have Travis join our team,” said Coach Saban. “He’s a dominant running back who will fit perfectly into our offense.”
Etienne’s decision to sign with Alabama was influenced by the team’s rich tradition of producing top-notch running backs.
“I want to be part of a program that values running backs,” Etienne said. “Alabama has a long history of producing great backs, and I want to be the next one.”
The signing of Etienne is a major boost to the Crimson Tide’s offense, which already features quarterback Tua Tagovailoa and wide receiver DeVonta Smith.
“Travis is a game-changer,” said Tagovailoa. “He’s a physical runner who can take it to the house every time he touches the ball.”
Etienne’s arrival also creates a crowded backfield, with Jase McClellan and Roydell Williams already vying for carries.
“Competition is good,” said Coach Saban. “It brings out the best in everyone.”
The Crimson Tide opens the season on September 3rd against Miami, and Etienne is expected to play a significant role.
“We’re excited to see what Travis can do,” said Coach Saban. “He’s a special player who will make an immediate impact.”
