Jared Savage (born March 2, 1997) is an American professional basketball player who most recently played for the Ontario Clippers of the NBA G League. He played college basketball for the Austin Peay Governors and the Western Kentucky Hilltoppers.
Savage attended Warren Central High School, where he played six Region 4 Tournament games throughout his career. As a senior, he averaged 17.8 points and 8.9 rebounds per game, leading the Dragons to a 23–9 season before losing to Bowling Green High School 46–43 in the 4th region Championship. Savage, considered a two-star prospect by Verbal Commits and unranked by 247Sports, Rivals or ESPN,[1] was not highly recruited. He ultimately signed with Austin Peay,[2] his father's alma mater.
As a freshman, Savage averaged 6.4 points per game.[3] He helped the Governors win the Ohio Valley Conference Tournament by making 19 3-pointers across four games. He posted 24 points, 9 rebounds, and 2 assists in the title game against UT Martin, earning All-Tournament Team recognition.[1] [3] Savage became a starter as a sophomore, averaging 10.3 points and 4.4 rebounds per game and made 57 three-pointers.[3] He transferred to Western Kentucky after his sophomore season when Austin Peay coach Dave Loos retired, after considering Lipscomb.[1] Savage averaged 12.2 points and 4.8 rebounds per game and had 14 blocked shots as a redshirt junior. During the beginning of his senior season, Savage served as a secondary scorer to Charles Bassey but emerged as a primary threat after Bassey's season-ending injury.[1] He posted 24 points and 16 rebounds against UTSA on February 15, 2020. As a redshirt senior, Savage averaged 11.7 points and 7.1 rebounds per game. His college career came to an end when the COVID-19 pandemic caused the cancellation of the Conference USA Tournament.[4] Savage was named to the Third Team All-Conference USA as well as the Defensive Team.[5]
On July 20, 2020, Savage signed his first professional contract with Lavrio of the Greek Basket League.[6]
On July 15, 2021, he signed with the Crailsheim Merlins of the German Basketball Bundesliga (BBL).[7] He averaged 5.3 points and 2.5 rebounds per game.
On March 6, 2022, Savage returned to Lavrio for the rest of the season.[8] In 10 league games, he averaged 9.4 points and 5 rebounds, playing around 25 minutes per game.
On October 24, 2022, Savage joined the Ontario Clippers training camp roster.[9] On December 22, 2022, Savage was waived.[10]
