How much of Carson Wentz's NFL success can be attributed to his supportive family background?

Carson Wentz has made a long journey in his life. From playing football and baseball with his brother, Zach Wentz, in the backyard, he has rubbed shoulders with many athletes in the big league. The Super Bowl winner has a steady supporter and a trustworthy partner in his big brother. They have a younger brother too, named Luke Domres. He likes to study, something his elder brothers aren’t known for. Yet, their bond is strong.

Learn all about Zach Wentz and the younger sibling Luke!

It was Zach who inspired Carson to walk on a sporting path. He played baseball for Bismarck Century High School and was chosen as Class A Pitcher of the Year in 2008 for his dominance on the diamond. After his freshman year with Bison (NDSU), Zach became the captain. The big bro later represented Fargo-Moorhead RedHawks in the Minor League Baseball but couldn’t find much success. Committed to serve the community, he became a Legacy High School baseball coach. Zach and Carson have a shared passion, hunting.

Wentz brothers love hunting and often go on hunting trips with friends. And both are very vocal about it, showing their hunts on an Instagram page and posting videos on YouTube channel: both named Wentz Bros Outdoors. While Zach later gave up his job to serve as the manager for his brother, he also moved to Philadelphia. While they both are often seen together, the youngest brother lives separately.

Luke also attended Bismarck Century High School, like his elder brothers, and played baseball and basketball. From 2016 to 2020, he pursued a graduation in Bachelor of Science in accounting at Arizona State University. Currently, living in Tempe, Arizona, he looks set for a career in accounting.

Zach and Carson Wentz’ philanthropy

When Carson was drafted by Eagles, Zach moved closer to him and adopted a life of service. Later, they formed the Carson Wentz AO1 Foundation. When the NFL athlete couldn’t find time because of his football commitments, the elder brother took over as the manager of the non-profit organization. When asked about his decision to move, Zach replied, “We grew up in Bismarck. We’ve been there, I like my job, I like what I do there, but anybody in their right mind would do this.

Together, they organize regular donation drives to help the underprivileged. Through their organization, the brothers operate a food truck that gives free meals. Also, they organize regular hunting and fishing trips apart from touchdown drives where baseball and football games are played. While Zach works on the organizational matters, Carson Wentz is ready to do things in football.

In 2024, he is the only other quarterback in Chiefs roster other than Patrick Mahomes. Can they pull off a 3-peat? It would be historic.
