AUSTIN CORBETT
2025 Carolina Panthers Community Impact Player of the Year Award
Players from the Carolina Panthers have a far reaching legacy in making significant contributions to our community. The Charlotte Touchdown Club is pleased to recognize the community service and positive impacts made by Panthers players through the Carolina Panthers Player Community Impact Award.
The winner of this year’s award is Panthers offensive linemen Austin Corbett.
A former college walk-on at the University of Nevada and now in his ninth NFL season, Austin is a foundational piece of the Panthers offensive line and is recognized as a locker room leader and a player who works tirelessly as a positive influence for his teammates. He puts forth the same energy and passion in serving others. He walks with a spirit of gratitude and his joy in impacting those he serves is evident, whether lifting up a Make-A-Wish child, or sharing gratitude with military service members, visiting with hospital patients or serving families in need, he casts a wide net in his charitable efforts. In addition, he was also recognized recently as the Carolina Panthers NFL Walter Payton Man of the Year Award nominee.
The Charlotte Touchdown Club and the Carolina Ascent are proud to present the 2025 Carolina Panthers Player Community Impact Award to Austin Corbett!
