Jacob Rombach

Final Rankings – While his game isn’t the most thrilling, Rombach has certainly got NHL scouts excited. He uses his reach to play a polished defensive game that he will have time to add to throughout a college career with the Gophers.—Luke Sweeney

June 2025 – Jacob Rombach has gone under the radar a bit this season with his quiet yet simplistic approach
to the game. Where the 6’6” LHD has lacked in media hype he’s made up for in love from NHL
scouts. Rombach is a guy that, in a volatile draft, could hear his name called much earlier than
expected in June. His feet have really come along and by the end of the year he was planting,
accelerating, and using just footwork to match even the shiftiest forwards in the USHL. Combine
that with a huge reach and an intent to use his 200 lb frame and he’s become a legitimate top 64
prospect. Rombach will never blow anyone away with offensive numbers but some NHL scouts
suspect that, with some seasoning at an elite defenseman factory, the University of Minnesota, he
can carve out a long career for himself. Whittaker Heart
