Braylen Jones Braylen Jones 6'0" | M Archbishop Spalding | 2028 MD is one of several promising 2028 Annapolis Hawks products making an early impact at Spalding. The athletic sophomore showed off his two-way ability in Tuesday’s win over Kiski, finishing with two goals and an assist. He’s the kind of player Spalding trusts on both sides of the field, comfortable taking a few defensive runs each game without panicking to get him off on the defensive end. Offensively, Jones is as well-rounded as they come for his age. With the ball, he’s shifty and deceptive — using pure speed, changes of direction, and speed variation to gain steps on his matchup. He knows how to work to better shooting angles and has the power to sting corners from range with his feet set. In tight, he moves goalies effectively and finishes with confidence. Off the ball, he shows a sense of spacing, slipping into seams inside or floating to the backside for clean step-down looks. His outing against Kiski was a great snapshot of all those tools.

His first assist came effortlessly — taking a feed from X attackman Brady Mollot Brady Mollot 5'7" | 150 lbs | A | Right Hand Archbishop Spalding | 2026 State #22 Nation MD and moving it one more to a timely Adam Schwab Adam Schwab 5'11" | 160 lbs | A | Left Hand Archbishop Spalding | 2026 MD cut that resulted in an easy finish. His first goal came on the first of two connections with Gavin Carpenter Gavin Carpenter 5'8" | 160 lbs | A | Right Hand Archbishop Spalding | 2028 MD . Carpenter drew a double, slipped free, and found Jones cutting inside with his left hand. It was a smart read by Jones, recognizing there was no two-slide coming and finishing calmly with his off-hand. His second goal came on another well-timed read — setting himself in the perfect spot to catch Carpenter’s feed and bury a step-down shot low and away with his right hand.
