Carson, Jackson, Rylar and Connor Sombach are not only teammates, they’re friends.
They’re all competing for jobs in the University of Regina Rams backfield as defensive backs.
The quartet are from Regina and grew up watching the Rams. Their father, Steve, played football for the Rams and is a member of the 1994 Rams team that was enshrined in the Saskatchewan Sports Hall of Fame.
The '94 team, then a member of the Canadian Junior Football League, beat the St. Leonard Cougars 52-6 to capture the club’s second consecutive National Championship.
Now, it’s his sons who are chasing success on the gridiron in green and gold.
“It’s pretty unique,” head coach Mark McConkey said.
