Florida returned their lead backs in Montrell Johnson and Trevor Etienne from a year ago where they combined for 1,560 yards and 16 rushing touchdowns in 2022. The pair averaged 5.74 yards per carry, establishing themselves as one of the best duos in college football.

Expectations for the Gators are low in 2023, but Florida’s dangerous backfield is considered the strength of the roster leading into fall camp. However, Johnson and Etienne are not focused on personal goals for the upcoming season.

“We talked about this. Me and Trevor, we try not to focus on goals,” junior running back Montrell Johnson said.
