Carl Abseck – Lufkin Panthers Football

2026 Lufkin Panthers Football season

Host Chris Doelle sits down with Lufkin Panthers head coach Carl Abseck to preview the upcoming 2026 football season. Entering his second year leading the program, Coach Abseck reflects on the intense pride and support of the Lufkin community, the high-quality local sports broadcasts, and the incredible work ethic of his dedicated team. He identifies the defense as a major strength, returning experienced contributors at every level under Coach Cargil, including four defensive linemen, two linebackers, and five players in the secondary. On offense, despite graduating key contributors, the Panthers boast a deep running back room led by Robert, Joker, and senior KP, alongside an active quarterback competition between Fitzgerald and Brilan and a young but highly talented receiving corps. Finally, Abseck breaks down a revamped and highly competitive district featuring new additions Goose Creek Memorial, New Caney, and La Porte, emphasizing that every week will be a dogfight as the Panthers look to build on last year's progress and compete for a championship.
