Malachi Jones

TIFFANY ON JONES
2023 – “Malachi is already making a splash with our program in his first Fall.  His speed, agility and determination result in one ground ball after another being secured by him.  Malachi has also grown as a disruptive long-stick midfielder, dislodging the ball with several checks including the “can opener”.  But the most electrifying part of Malachi’s game is witnessing him kick-start transition with a ground ball that leads to a full-field run and a scoring opportunity for our offense.”
