Jarrad Waite (born February 4, 1983) is an Australian rules footballer in the Australian Football League.
He was recruited as the number 46 draft pick in the 2001 AFL Draft from Benalla under the father-son selection rule (he is the son of former Carlton player Vin Waite.) He made his debut for the Carlton Football Club in Round 1, 2003 against the Sydney Swans.
Jarrad has made his stance in the AFL as a very prominent forward. He kicked 36 goals in the 2005 season, finishing second behind Brendan Fevola for the club. He is expected to be a future star for Carlton, however he has been struck down by recurring injuries so far in his career.
In 2007, Waite has been shifted from the forward-line into the backline, highlighted by pre season intra club matches and the opening round of the NAB Cup in which he was among the best players on the ground playing at centre half back. He should be capable of matching up on many different types of forwards.
Waite is an extremely exciting prospect for the Carlton Football Club. His height combined with his athleticism make him an extremely dangerous player for opposition teams to deal with which should see him have a very succesful career at AFL level judging by his form to date.
