Jeron Alvin Uy Teng (born March 21, 1994) is a Filipino basketball player. He played for the De La Salle Green Archers in the University Athletic Association of the Philippines (UAAP). He was born on March 21, 1994 to Alvin and Susan Teng. Jeron is the youngest among four siblings: Alyssa, Almira, and Jeric. His father, Alvin Teng, is a former player in the Philippine Basketball Association who won multiple titles as a member of the San Miguel Beermen. His older brother Jeric, was a former collegiate basketball player playing for the UST Growling Tigers.
Like his older brother, Jeric, Teng played high school basketball for the Xavier Golden Stallions. He led the Golden Stallions to two championships and won for himself the season MVP award in his three seasons with the team. In 2011, Teng broke what was then the all-time Philippine record for points in a single game by scoring 104 points in a 164-74 win over Grace Christian College in the Tiong Lian Basketball Association tournament. Teng's record was broken two years later when Clark Quijano of AMA University High School scored 120 points.
Teng would suit up for the De La Salle Green Archers in the UAAP where he would instantly become the face of the Archers. He led the Archers through their chase to return to the Final Four. In their second round encounter against his older brother Jeric's team the UST Growling Tigers, Teng would nail the game winner over one time RP-Youth teammate Kevin Ferrer as the Archers avenged their first round defeat against the Tigers with a 53-51 win. Teng would lead the Archers back to the Final Four after missing out the previous season which included winning a knock-out game for the last slot against the FEU Tamaraws. However the Archers would get knocked out of the Final Four when they lost to their arch-rivals and eventual champions, the Ateneo Blue Eagles. Teng would later be named UAAP Rookie of the Year achieving the same feat his older brother Jeric done in 2009 and would also be named to the Mythical Five. Teng finished his rookie season with averages of 15.8 points per game, 6.6 rebounds per game, and 2.8 assists per game on 42% shooting from the field.
