TE Patrick Herbert, who signed with the Jacksonville Jaguars as an undrafted free agent, has been enjoying life beyond football. Despite battling injuries over the past two seasons—appearing in just 28 games—the former Oregon Ducks player now has something far more meaningful to celebrate. Thanks to the unwavering support of his partner, Herbert never lost hope. Even after going undrafted in the 2025 NFL Draft, he continues to move forward with resilience and optimism. And now, he’s taken a major step off the field.

And that is—saying yes to forever with his athletic partner, Carly. She confirmed the engagement with a heartfelt Instagram post. Sharing glimpses of their special day on her official IG handle, Carly captioned the post perfectly to mark the occasion: “You and me forever,” followed by a white heart emoji.

Herbert’s fiancée recently shared multiple photos from their special day. In one post, Carly showed off her engagement ring and confirmed that the couple got engaged on Saturday and are starting a new chapter together. The photos captured romantic moments between the pair, including a joyful snapshot with their pet dogs that caught fans’ attention, highlighting their deep bond and chemistry.

This wasn’t the first time Carly publicly expressed her love for Herbert. She has supported him since his time at the University of Oregon. While the 6-foot-5, 250-pound tight end was making his mark in Ducks history, Carly often celebrates his milestones.

On November 6, 2023, she shared an Oregon game day post on Instagram, writing: “sco baby” with a yellow heart emoji. She wore Herbert’s jersey number (88) jacket while cheering him on. That season, Herbert impressed with three touchdowns and 15 receptions for 196 yards. Carly’s presence was a constant through it all.

Herbert has also openly shown his affection. On Valentine’s Day in 2021, he posted a heartfelt photo of the two with their pet, writing: “Happy Valentine’s Day to this girl” with a red heart emoji.

In another post from August 2022, Herbert’s caption reflected their closeness: “Nice little getaway before camp starts up.”

These moments reflect the strength of their relationship. Their social media timelines show a couple who’ve enjoyed years of shared experiences and unwavering support. Now, after years of dating, they’ve taken the next step. Beyond being a loving partner, Carly is also an accomplished volleyball athlete.

Who is Patrick Herbert’s fiancée Carly Wallace?

Interestingly, just like Justin Herbert’s younger brother Patrick, his fiancée Carly is also involved in sports. She is a former Oregon volleyball player. She excelled in her skills while playing for Oregon’s Beach volleyball team. During her redshirt sophomore year in 2021, Granite Bay, California native Carly led her team to an impressive season victory, 21–17, 21–8. In her freshman season, she appeared in 14 matches. Moreover, she helped the Ducks secure a thrilling three-set win over Portland, 21–19, 22–24, 18–16.

Beyond her collegiate success at Oregon, Carly also collected several accolades on the beach volleyball circuit. She won three gold medals in Huntington and Santa Cruz (two CBVA, one Women’s A), as well as golds in the Pacific Palisades p1440 and the Santa Monica GNVB tournaments. Before joining Oregon, she built her reputation playing four years for Granite Bay High School’s volleyball program.

In addition to her athletic accomplishments, Carly has a strong record of community involvement. She began volunteering with the National Charity League at just 12 years old—a mother-daughter organization focused on giving back to the local community.

Now, she begins a new chapter in her life alongside Patrick Herbert.
