Gavin Carpenter Gavin Carpenter 5'8" | 160 lbs | A | Right Hand Archbishop Spalding | 2028 MD is a very well-rounded and intelligent offensive player. He quarterbacks the Hawks’ offense with poise, consistently making high-level decisions and dictating the tempo of each possession. Gavin can beat defenses from anywhere, initiating from X, attacking from up top, or stepping into space to finish off-ball with confidence. His exceptional work ethic and coachability fuel his steady growth and set the tone for his teammates. He brings the same relentless energy to the ride, pursuing the ball with determination and creating extra possessions. With his versatility, competitiveness, and sharp offensive mind, Gavin is a true leader for the Annapolis Hawks.

Incredibly skilled and intelligent, Carpenter is already so dynamic, able to threaten opposing defenses in a variety of ways. He can get up the hash and finish appropriately, break ankles at X then drop a dime to a cutting teammate on the doorstep, or score with time and room. He’s known for his lacrosse IQ, off-the-charts stick skills, and stop-and-start ability as a dodger, with his COD making it hard for defenders to get their hands on him. Even when he’s not directly getting on the stat sheet, he’s affecting the play and creating offense, however that may be. Carpenter is just as dangerous as a feeder as he is as a scorer, and he gets after it in the riding game to generate more scoring opportunities as well. As young as he is, I’d expect him to make a splash at the varsity level this spring.
