As the Carolina Panthers close out another tough season, one unlikely candidate has offered to lend a hand—country music star Luke Combs. The native of Huntersville, North Carolina, is no stranger to supporting his hometown team, and when a post appeared on the Panthers’ social media page calling for defensive help, Combs was quick to respond.
On New Year’s Eve, a fan tagged the Panthers’ official X (formerly Twitter) account, writing, “We need defense. @Panthers do your thing,” alongside a humorous image of Combs in a Panthers uniform with shoulder pads.
Combs, ever the fan of his local team, saw the post and reshared it, tagging the Panthers with a playful message. While it’s highly unlikely that the country singer will be stepping onto the field for the team’s regular-season finale against the Atlanta Falcons, the gesture has sparked excitement among fans.
Though Combs’ offer is more of a fun joke than a serious one, it’s clear that it would be a dream come true for the country star to suit up for his beloved Panthers, and such a move would undoubtedly be a marketing win for the team, possibly drawing in more fans to the game.
