KNIGHT ON TEXTER: Jarred played a lot of golf for us last year. He has had two really good years. He was top five at Sunnehanna and was an All-American last year, so he comes back with good honors. He came very close to winning several tournaments last year and if he can get over the hump individually, that will be huge for us and for him. I expect to see a really good year out of him. He can play at the highest level on very difficult courses. 2004-05: Named the 2005 MWC Freshman of the Year... earned Academic All- MWC honors... played in 10 tournaments and 31 rounds as a true freshman... his best finish was third at the Nelson Invitational (206)... also tied for ninth at the Mountain West Conference Championship (218)... his 206 at the Nelson tied him for the 16th lowest 54-hole total in UNLV history and tied him for first among UNLV freshmen... finished in the top 20 three times, including the top 10 twice and the top five once... shot a 65 during the second round at the Nelson Invitational to become just the third freshman to ever shoot a round that low... he is also just the 13th Rebel ever to shoot a round of 65 or better... had a scoring average of 73.19, which ranked seventh on the team.
