Kolton Dearth brings hometown size, toughness, and a blue-collar DL frame to Tarleton State
Kolton Dearth is a fresh-faced 6-foot-2, 315-pound defensive lineman from Stephenville, Texas, and that hometown-to-hometown fit matters: he arrives with a championship résumé, district/team MVP honors, and first-team all-state recognition after posting 81 tackles, 26 tackles for loss, 2 sacks, 13 QB hurries, 2 pass breakups, 1 forced fumble, and 1 recovery in high school. Tarleton also appears to value the family-and-program pedigree here—his father is a Tarleton athletics Hall of Famer and his brother played on the offensive line there—suggesting a player with real buy-in, physicality, and no-nonsense energy.
