Western Carolina’s undersized, high-rebound spark from the early-2000s Catamounts
Jared Outing is listed as a 5-foot-7 forward on Western Carolina’s 2002-03 roster, and the available team stats show he was a steady rebounder with a strong free-throw touch in limited early-season action that year.[1][2] His most notable differentiator is sheer fight: being able to impact the glass at that size hints at a motor-first, physical style rather than a pure scoring role.[1][2] If you want a gritty hustle piece who brings toughness and effort more than flash, he looks like the kind of player coaches can trust to compete every possession.[1][2]
