Ball’s performance during the Flyers’ trip to Maryland gave me the sense that he was well on his way to earning five-star status, as he went 17-for-23 against the top-ranked 2026 face-off specialist and continued his dominance all spring. As technical and dynamic as he is at the face-off dot, it’s Ball’s high IQ ability with the ball that helps set him apart. He checks all of the boxes at the position and will be a crucial piece of the puzzle for new Penn head coach Taylor Wray from Day 1. On the All-Star circuit this summer, Ball went 15-of-32 against top-ranked ’25 face-off specialist Aidan Diaz-Matos. It was pretty much a toss-up for the top spot, but either way, Ball had wrapped up his fifth star weeks earlier and looks every bit of a game-changer at the Division I level.

Ball, a faceoff specialist committed to Penn, is one of the best FOGOs on the island. He single-handedly tilts games with the number of possessions and faceoffs he wins, making him a true asset for the Flyers as they essentially regain possession after every goal. Beyond his faceoff ability, Ball is a great athlete with a strong lacrosse IQ. Whether he’s pressured at the X or picking up a tough ground ball in traffic, he’s smart enough to escape and make a play for his team.

Every time I make a live evaluation of Ball, it feels as though he’s gotten bigger and better than the last time around. He has a humble, workmanlike way about him that stands out — Ball is all business at the X and is as technical as they come. He was terrific in Chaminade’s win at McDonogh, winning 19-of-23 in a matchup against the top-ranked ’26 face-off specialist in the country. During Sunday’s loss to Loyola, Ball had a similar showing and had little trouble winning the ball to himself. He’s so athletic, skilled, and poised with the ball that his coaches never have to worry about what he’s going to do after the win, despite opponents doing everything in their power to take the ball away from him. I’d be shocked if Ball doesn’t work his way onto the field from Day 1 once he joins the Quakers’ program. He’ll certainly be needed, given the fact that Penn sits in the bottom 10 nationally in face-off percentage.

Read EvaluationJared Valluzzi | Prep Lacrosse Scout
The Flyers needed Ball to have a big game in order to have a chance at pulling the upset. The junior FOGO did all he could and was red-hot in the first three quarters, winning 10-of-13. He faced two extremely talented faceoff specialists from St Anthony’s and still thrived. Plenty of his wins were clean, and he did an excellent job taking care of the ball after winning possessions for his team. He had a perfect third quarter, which helped Chaminade be even with the Friars for the majority of that quarter. Ball showed his ability to grab contested ground balls, have successful counters, and win it clean and forward to create offense all in that quarter.
