Austin Corbett Named Reno Rodeo Parade Grand Marshal
Parade set for Saturday, June 18; call for entries now open
RENO, Nev. — Super Bowl champion, Austin Corbett, will be serving as this year’s grand marshal in the Reno Rodeo Parade taking place Saturday, June 18 at 10 a.m.
The former Reed High School and Nevada Wolf Pack football star got his Super Bowl ring with the Los Angeles Rams last season and recently signed a three-year, $29.25 million deal with the Carolina Panthers.
“We are thrilled to have Austin as our Grand Marshal in this year’s parade,” said 2022 Reno Rodeo President, Josh Iveson. “We’ve been fans of Austin since his Wolf Pack days and have been cheering on his continued success in the NFL. It’s always great to see the hometown guy go on to do great things.”
Corbett, a member of the Walker River Paiute Tribe, has been a long-time fan of the Reno Rodeo too. In 2016 during Wolf Pack night at the Reno Rodeo, he proposed to his wife Madison in the middle of the arena. The couple welcomed their son, Ford, in September 2020 and have a daughter due in September 2022.
Reno Rodeo parade officials are looking for entries from businesses, associations and non-profit organizations.
“With your participation, we plan to rejuvenate the enthusiasm of parades past and rejoice in blending Reno’s history and diverse cultures with the sights and sounds of the historic Reno Rodeo,” said Stewart Friant, Reno Rodeo Parade committee chair. “The Reno Rodeo Parade brings the flavor of Reno’s community and western heritage to life.”
This Reno Rodeo Parade will march south along Virginia Street, from 9th Street through downtown Reno, under the Reno Arch and across the Truckee River. Spectators will see hundreds of horses plus wagons, Miss Reno Rodeo and visiting royalty, and much more.
