Sebastian Vollmer is one of the most popular and richest Football Offensive Tackle who was born on July 10, 1984 in Kaarst, North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany.
As Markus Koch was drafted 30th overall by the Redskins in 1986 and helped Washington win Super Bowl XXII two years later, Vollmer is often erroneously credited as the first German ever to be selected in an NFL draft, and further, to win a Super Bowl title.
Vollmer chose to attend the University of Houston, where he played for the Houston Cougars football team beginning in 2004. He redshirted his freshman season in 2004, and appeared in eight games as a reserve tight end in 2005. After requiring back surgery as a sophomore, Vollmer switched from tight end to left tackle, where he started 25 straight games for Houston. At Houston, Vollmer’s offensive line coach was Joe Gilbert, who had previously worked at the University of Toledo, where he coached another future Patriots lineman, Nick Kaczur. As a senior, he was named to the first-team All-Conference USA at left tackle.
