Jeth Troy U. Rosario (born January 20, 1992) is a Filipino professional basketball player for the TNT KaTropa of the Philippine Basketball Association (PBA).
Rosario played for two years at Technological Institute of the Philippines. He left TIP to focus on his stint for the RP Youth Team then-coached by NU Bulldogs coach Eric Altamirano. Then he suited for the NU Bulldogs after transferring from TIP. In his final season with the Bulldogs, he averaged 12.3 points and 8.6 rebounds per game, as his team made history by winning their first championship since 1954.
After his college career was over, Rosario suited up for the Hapee Fresh Fighters in the PBA D-League, where he teamed up with fellow college standouts and future draft batchmates Chris Newsome, Baser Amer, Scottie Thompson and Garvo Lanete.
Rosario was drafted second overall by the Mahindra Enforcer in the 2015 PBA draft. Two days later, the Enforcers shipped his rights to the Talk 'N Text Tropang Texters via a complicated three-team which also involved TNT's sister team, NLEX Road Warriors. On August 27, 2015, both he and #1 pick Moala Tautuaa signed maximum three-year rookie contracts with the Talk 'N Text Tropang Texters worth ₱8.5 million.
