Teng was always very religious growing up and frequented the Pink Sisters Convent to pray and celebrate Mass. As a young child, Jeron gained serious interest in basketball after his older brother Jeric encouraged him to join the Xavier basketball team when he was in third grade. Teng eventually won his first of many titles that year in the Metro Manila Tiong Lian Basketball Association (MMTLBA), one of the premier elementary and high school basketball leagues in the nation. The Teng brothers were frequently tutored by the

. Teng would later be crowned the Finals MVP. Teng finished his sophomore campaign averaging 15.3 points per game, 7.2 rebounds per game, and 3.1 assists per game while shooting 41% from the field.
Third season
Teng and the Green Archers would have another stellar season as the favorites to win the title, but they wound up losing to their arch-rivals the FEU Tamaraws after going the distance in the final four. This happened despite the fact that the Green Archers had exactly the same record as the previous season at 10 wins and four losses. The Tamaraws would lose to the National University Bulldogs in the finals. This semifinals loss against FEU prevented the Archers from winning back to back championships. At that time, Teng had a career high average of 18.1 ppg, alongside 7.1 rpg, 4 apg, while shooting 75 percent from the free throw line. This included a memorable 32 point outburst under 40 minutes of play against the Blue Eagles on August 17, 2014. During the

between the Tamaraws and the NU Bulldogs, Teng would be honored with another Mythical Five selection.
Coach Sauler allowed Teng to thrive through the use of a 14-man rotation system that granted Teng more opportunities to dominate and take over games for the Green Archers. This strategy was an extension of the one used in the previous championship season where the team handily won with even lesser players on the roster.
Fourth season
For the first time since 2011, the Green Archers would miss the final four along with Teng missing the final four for the first time during his stint with the Green Archers, despite grabbing another Mythical Five honor yet again. This allowed Teng to tie legends such as former FEU Tamaraw
Arwind Santos with three Mythical Five selections.

. This was a monumental move for Teng's legacy as the King Archer led
La Salle to a famous 12–0 run until they lost to the Ateneo Blue Eagles in their penultimate game. Teng would win one last Mythical Five honor in his final year and carry the team through the elimination round with a 13–1 record that gave the Green Archers the first seed. Teng would be once again named finals MVP after he dominated the series and captained the team to sweep the Ateneo Blue Eagles in the finals. This included a historic 28 point game to clinch the series and his career, making this squad one of the most memorable rosters in collegiate basketball history. His exploits at the collegiate level, from his multiple tournament MVPs and championships to his longevity and complete accolades, make him by acclamation the greatest collegiate basketball player of the 2010s decade.
