Nikolas Dean (football) and Jack Giloth (men's soccer) recently joined The College of Wooster as assistant coaches. 

Dean, who was part of a national championship staff at the University of Georgia, will work with the Fighting Scots' defensive line and assist with recruiting.

Dean arrives following a two-season stint at Louisburg College, a junior college in North Carolina. There, he served as linebackers and strength and conditioning coach. Signature highlights included being part of one of the top-ranked defenses in non-scholarship junior college football and developing a junior college All-American.

At Georgia, Dean was a recruiting and player personnel analyst on the Bulldogs' 2022 national championship staff. He created and implemented comparison analysis reports to enhance recruiting tactics and was responsible for identifying potential targets in the transfer portal. Dean's coaching career started at Iowa Wesleyan University, where he coached running backs.

Dean attended the University of Mississippi (Ole Miss) and was a tight end in the program. He has a bachelor's degree in exercise science and a master's in management with an athletic administration concentration.

Of note, Dean's brother, Nakobe, was the 2021 Butkus Award winner, given to the nation's top linebacker. Nakobe played college football at Georgia and was a third-round selection in the 2022 NFL Draft.

Giloth, a Wooster alumnus, moves into a full-time position after spending the 2023 season as a temporary assistant coach.

Giloth's coaching career started as a site coach for DC United and Headfirst Soccer Camp in Washington, D.C.

As a Fighting Scot, Giloth made an immediate impact as a first-year scoring three times over eight appearances. Giloth played in 52 career games, 15 of which were starts. The midfielder was part of 15 clean sheets.

The economics alumnus worked as a student athletic trainer while attending the College.
