The Regina Rams could possibly field a defensive line this season that some say hasn't been seen on the field ever before. The team can have four brothers walk into the gridiron. The four Sombachs are already practicing together at the University of Regina.
The Sombachs, left to right, Carson, Jackson, Connor and Rylar, at a practice session at the University of Regina before their game against Alberta on Sept. 29.
Even without playing together in a regular season game, the brothers have made history, according to the university. "All of our Christmas presents were football stuff," he said. "We played snowball in the front yard or the back yard. We were always tackling each other in the basement playing football. So we've been pretty bred to play football since we were young."Their dad, Steve Sombach, was a Rams offensive lineman when the team was winning Canadian junior championships in the 1980s. Steve says he got into football when he was 14 and he got his inspiration from his own dad.
Steve, like all of his kids, also played for Miller High School. He later went on to coach there from 1988 until last year, including the time when all four brothers were winning championships at the school. Jackson played each of the first five games this season, amassing 17 tackles and an interception. Carson trailed his older brother by one tackle with 16.
