Austin Corbett (born September 5, 1995) is an American professional football player. He plays as a center for the Carolina Panthers in the National Football League (NFL).

Austin went to Reed High School in Sparks, Nevada. He started his college football career for the Nevada Wolf Pack as a "walk-on" player. This means he joined the team without a scholarship at first.

College Football Journey

Austin Corbett played college football for the Nevada Wolf Pack from 2013 to 2017. He was a very important player on the offensive line. The offensive line protects the quarterback and helps the running backs gain yards.

Becoming a Key Player

Before the 2017 season, Austin had more experience than any other offensive lineman on his team. He was a starter at left tackle for four years. He took over this position from Joel Bitonio, who later became his teammate on the Cleveland Browns.

After his senior year in 2017, Austin received special honors. He was named the Basalite Big Blocker and became a team captain. He was also a semifinalist for the Burlsworth Trophy, which honors players who start their careers as walk-ons. Austin was also invited to the 2018 Senior Bowl, a game where top college players show their skills to NFL teams.

Professional Football Career

Austin Corbett began his professional career in the NFL in 2018. He has played for three different teams so far.

Playing for the Cleveland Browns

The Cleveland Browns picked Austin Corbett in the second round of the 2018 NFL draft. He was the 33rd player chosen overall. He signed a four-year contract with the team.

Time with the Los Angeles Rams

In October 2019, the Browns traded Austin to the Los Angeles Rams. After joining the Rams, he quickly became a starter. In 2019, he started 7 out of 8 games he played for them.

Austin was a key player for the Rams in the 2021-22 season. He started all 17 regular season games. He also started every playoff game. This included Super Bowl LVI, where the Rams won against the Cincinnati Bengals with a score of 23-20. Winning the Super Bowl is a huge achievement for any football player!

Joining the Carolina Panthers

On March 16, 2022, Austin Corbett signed a three-year contract with the Carolina Panthers. He continued to be a starting player for them.

In the last game of the 2022 season, he unfortunately suffered a serious knee injury. This injury was a torn anterior cruciate ligament, often called an ACL.

He worked hard to recover from his injury. In August 2023, he was placed on a special list that meant he would miss the first four games of the 2023 season. He was able to return to play in October 2023. However, he suffered another knee injury in November, which ended his 2023 season.

Austin started the 2024 season as the Panthers' starting center. He played in the first five games. Sadly, he suffered a torn biceps in Week 5, which ended his season again.

In March 2025, Austin Corbett re-signed with the Panthers for another year.
