Kevin Manuel Ferrer (born March 26, 1993) is a Filipino professional basketball player who currently plays for the Barangay Ginebra San Miguel of the Philippine Basketball Association (PBA).
Ferrer played for the Tiger Cubs from 2009 up to 2010.
In his rookie season with the Tiger Cubs, Ferrer was crowned the Junior's Rookie of the Year. Ferrer along with season MVP Ron Javier led the Tigers into a second-place finish at the end of the eliminations. Unfortunately, the Tiger Cubs were eliminated by the Kiefer Ravena-led Ateneo Blue Eaglets squad in the Final Four despite having a twice-to-beat advantage against the Eaglets.
In his final season with the Tiger Cubs, Ferrer was crowned the Junior's Most Valuable Player where he led the Tiger Cubs into the Finals where they faced off once again with Ravena and the Blue Eaglets who finished the elimination round undefeated at 14-0 with an automatic Finals berth and a 1-0 advantage in a virtual best-of-5 final series. In Game 1, Ferrer led the Tiger Cubs with 35 points as the Tiger Cubs took Game 1 77-71 to even up the series 1-1, but the Tiger Cubs lost the next two games 66-76, 59-76 and the series as the Blue Eaglets pull off a three-peat in the Junior's division of the UAAP.
Despite offers from different universities, Ferrer stayed with his alma mater and suited up for the Tigers in 2011. In his rookie season, Ferrer averaged 7.6 points per game, 5.2 rebounds per game and 1.2 assists per game. Stepping up in the second round of eliminations together with veterans Jeric Teng, Jeric Fortuna, Chris Camus and fellow rookie Karim Abdul, Ferrer and the Tigers finished the season in 4th place with an 8-6 record and returned to the Final Four. In their Final Four, Ferrer once again faced off against Kiefer Ravena and the Ateneo Blue Eagles, this time in the senior's division. Ferrer scored 10 points, but his efforts came up short as the Tigers were knocked out by the Blue Eagles to advance to the Finals 66-69.
