Four Brothers Play Together on Same Viking Team

Share this page:

This season, Vikings football explored uncharted territory: building a squad with four brothers simultaneously playing on the same team. After North Park recruited Alex Corey C’19, a domino effect began. Alex’s brother George Corey C’18 soon followed him to the team, which led to Gabe Corey C’17 transferring to North Park and playing alongside his brothers. Finally, Woody Corey C’20 rounded out the coverage this year, with all four classes being represented by the Corey family.

“The Corey boys are emblematic of what a true student-athlete should be,” says Head Football Coach Mike Conway. “They are all outstanding students, exhibit great character, and are proud representatives of our University.”

Gabe Corey Sr. has been a longtime high school football coach in the Chicago area. “Gabe and Lisa Corey exhibit a strong family dynamic as parents,” says Conway, “and have done an outstanding job of instilling a model of academic excellence, work ethic, commitment, and integrity with all of their sons.”
