A busy Thursday in the word of sports, but not quite in the area you would expect. For the latest news across the world of sports, you can count on Brandon's First Four Things at 4 p.m. every day on 'In The Zone'. Here were some of the top headlines on Thursday:
1) University of Florida running back Trevor Etienne has entered the transfer portal. Etienne led the Gators in rushing touchdowns this season (8) and was second on the team in total rushing yards. Etienne, the brother of Jacksonville Jaguars running back Travis Etienne, will surely be one of the top transfer recruits in the country this offseason, already being tied to fellow SEC schools such as Georgia, Alabama, and Big 10's Ohio State. Trevor will have two years of eligibility, and his brother, Travis, feels that Florida, and specifically head coach Billy Napier, wasn't the best fit for Trevor.
2) Reigning 2023 Master's Champion Jon Rahm is leaving the PGA Tour and will play in the LIV Golf League in 2024. Rahm's deal is estimated to be 3+ years worth north of $300 million, along with ownership of a LIV Golf team.
3) Drama in Jacksonville media. Local radio host has choice-words for Colin Cowherd of Fox Sports following "clownish and irresponsible" comments around Jacksonville Jaguars QB Trevor Lawrence injury on Monday Night Florida
4) NFL Pro Bowl Fan Votes update: Some of the results may surprise you.
