2026 Hall of Fame Inductees

Bayou Lacombe Cardinals Bird Head

Abraham Dawson

Dawson was the cornerstone of not just the defense, but every aspect of the team. He was a leader on and off the field and a perfect of example of what it meant to be a Cardinal. His tenacity on the field is only matched by his genuine good character off the field. Congrats Abe!!

Bayou Lacombe Cardinals Bird Head

Archie Ambo

Ambo defined the position of Wide Receiver for the Cardinals. He set the tone as deep threat with explosive play making ability. Because of him, there is a standard at Receiver that must be maintained. Congrats Archie!!

Bayou Lacombe Cardinals Bird Head

Dedrick Parson

Parson was a menace on the field and that is putting it lightly. Opposing quarterbacks still have nightmares of number 9 planting them firmly in the backfield. Dedrick anchored the defensive line for years and is a huge reason the Cardinals' defense lives up to the bar he set. Congrats Dedrick!!

Bayou Lacombe Cardinals Bird Head

Deante Turner

Turner played right tackle for the Cardinals and protected Cardinal quarterbacks with extreme relentlessness. Deante's growth as individual, off the field, exemplifies what the program is all about. His character and football skill set is what elevated him to the status of Hall of Famer. Congrats Deante!!

Bayou Lacombe Cardinals Bird Head

Garrett Schexnayder

Schexnayder is the definition of brute force and leadership. He lifted jeeps in the offseason and lifted opposing linemen during the season. Garrett's skill set allowed him to play both offensive and defensive line and he did both at a high level. He did it all while being a man of great character. Congrats Garrett!!
