Coach Lenahan on Dearth: "Nate is just a great athlete with an absolute warrior's mentality and that combination usually lends itself to success at the college level. He has the ability to dominate the air both defensively and in the attack on set pieces. With his skill set and toughness, there is no doubt that he will be a good central defender in the Big Ten before it is all said and done."
