Mini bio
How it started.
Jared grew up in Sacramento and played at Centennial High School in Corona. He told Boardroom that quarantine gave him room to try TikTok dance videos without worrying about being teased at school. Posting and learning dances became a habit, and he began meeting people who recognized him from TikTok.
Basketball meets a growing audience.
At Centennial, he won Gatorade California Player of the Year in both his junior and senior seasons. He joined Duke for 2023–24 and made the ACC All-Rookie Team. In the NCAA Tournament, he scored 30 points and hit eight threes against James Madison, setting Duke’s tournament record for made threes in a game.
Into the NBA.
Philadelphia selected Jared 16th overall in the 2024 draft. He earned the Eastern Conference’s first Rookie of the Month award of the season. His on-court story now continues with Oklahoma City, while his YouTube videos take fans through training, travel and team life.
Being himself.
Dancing and painted nails have stayed part of his public identity. A Sally Hansen partnership brought his nail-care routine into his creator work, alongside the basketball videos and personal updates fans follow him for.
