Cole Dewhurst (Lancaster, Mass.) arrived at Providence College almost four years ago, perhaps as prepared as any player could be to make an impact at the next level.
Growing up in a soccer household and learning the game from his father, Jason, who is the director of the FC Stars club program, and having spent five years in the New England Revolution Academy, Cole was immersed in soccer environments that provided him insight and experience in the sport well beyond his years.
Still, the defender said even he was surprised during his freshman season when he started 19 games for the Friars and logged 1,708 minutes.
