Coach Carver joins the Jackets from Lufkin ISD, one of the top 5A football programs in Texas, where he served as an assistant coach. He brings extensive experience across East Texas football, having contributed to multiple respected programs throughout the region, including Center and Nacogdoches ISD.

Coach Carver’s fifteen years of coaching experience also extends into baseball and softball, giving him a well-rounded athletic perspective. He and his wife, Leigh Anne, Community Relations and Marketing Manager at Nacogdoches Medical Center, are the proud parents of Max and Birdie.
