6'5, 200-pound Jared Dillinger is a Filipino-American guard/forward who hails from Littleton, Colorado and plays basketball for the University of Hawai'i Rainbow Warriors. From being the last man on the Warriors' bench last season, Jared has worked his butt out to earn a starting slot on the basketball team, which almost cut off his basketball scholarship. Currently, he has become one of the team's most reliable defenders and long-range shooters. His role on the team has taken a complete turnaround from last season where he played for only 6 basketball games and a total of only 6 minutes. 21 basketball games into the current season, he is averaging 9.8 points and 3.3 rebounds in 29.1 minutes per game. He is second on the team with 37 3-pointers and is the Rainbow Warriors' leading hitman with a 0.430 percentage from beyond the arc. He is a transferee from the Air Force Academy. While playing basketball for the Air Force, they won the Mountain West Conference championship on his freshman year but lost to North Carolina in the first round of the NCAA basketball tournament. He also considered Dartmouth before finally deciding on Hawai'i. Jared Dillinger also dreams of one day playing in Asia's oldest professional basketball league, the Philippine Basketball Association.
