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鈥�19, a domino effect began. Alex鈥檚 brother George Corey C鈥�18 soon followed him to the team, which led to Gabe Corey C鈥�17 transferring to North Park and playing alongside his brothers. Finally, Woody Corey C鈥�20 rounded out the coverage this year, with all four classes being represented by the Corey family.
鈥淭he Corey boys are emblematic of what a true student-athlete should be,鈥� says Head Football Coach Mike Conway. 鈥淭hey are all outstanding students, exhibit great character, and are proud representatives of our University.鈥�
Gabe Corey Sr. has been a longtime high school football coach in the Chicago area. 鈥淕abe and Lisa Corey exhibit a strong family dynamic as parents,鈥� says Conway, 鈥渁nd have done an outstanding job of instilling a model of academic excellence, work ethic, commitment, and integrity with all of their sons.鈥�
