Jediah Chavarin-Rivens brings bench spark and defensive bite to TLU’s backcourt
In the 2024-25 season, Texas Lutheran guard Jediah Chavarin-Rivens appeared in nine games, averaging 3.8 points and 1.0 rebounds in 8.0 minutes per game, and he flashed upside with a career-high 16 points and three steals at McMurry on Feb. 21, 2025. The 6-foot sophomore is a compact, multi-sport guard from Weslaco East who was recognized as a 2023 5A Defensive Player of the Year, so the appeal is clear: toughness, activity, and a defensive edge that can change a game in short bursts. He looks like the kind of energetic fit coaches love when they want disruptive perimeter defense and instant pace off the bench.
