veteran Pepperdine forward with proven toughness, high-usage reliability, and academic discipline
In the 2005-06 season, Keith Jarbo brought Pepperdine a steady, physical forward presence: he was a former walk-on who earned a scholarship, was cited as a starter, and posted a strong team-leading academic profile, including a 3.73 GPA in sports medicine. Stat lines show a compact, efficient contributor rather than a flashy scorer, with 1.8 points, 2.0 rebounds, and 0.8 assists per game in his listed ESPN season view, while Pepperdine materials highlighted his work ethic, maturity, and leadership. He looks like the kind of player coaches trust for grit, brains, and glue-guy value.
