While we don’t yet know when the matchup will take place, the Panthers are slated to take on the Jaguars in 2025.
Barring any transactions, that will set up a matchup between two brothers at running back: Travis and Trevor Etienne.
Travis, 26, has been in the league for years after playing his college ball at Clemson. But Trevor, 20, elected to go a different way, beginning his collegiate career at Florida before transferring to Georgia for 2024.
Trevor’s performance landed him with the Panthers as a fourth-round pick.
In a recent interview, Trevor noted that “words can’t explain” how much his brother has impacted him.
“He always told me don’t try to leave a legacy, live a legacy,” Trevor said, via Alex Zietlow of the Charlotte Observer. “And that’s something he’s told me in high school, and I carry it through life. What I’ve learned from him is how much you have to become a pro — how much you have to lock in and become a student of the game, and just take care of your body. I learned so much.”
Now that they’re both in the league, Travis said the opportunity to face one another’s team is something he and his brother have dreamed of.
“[B]ut until it comes to fruition, you can’t really understand it,” Travis said, via Zietlow. “For my parents, it’s going to be very exciting. I think it’s going to be a moment filled with love and joy, for real.
“Us being together, from so young to now, and knowing that we’ve dreamed of these things and it’s actually happening — I feel like that’s a moment we’re just going to take in and enjoy because this doesn’t happen often.”
But most importantly, Travis wants bragging rights.
“[I]’ll try to go out there and kick his ass, win the game,” Travis joked.
