Jace played a vital role for a highly competitive Bishop Seabury squad last season, complementing a deep core of productive players with his ability to space the floor and knock down catch-and-shoot opportunities. His shooting forced defenses to play him — and his teammates — straight up, limiting their ability to over-help or rotate. Hoffman also showed flashes of initiating offense and pushing the tempo in transition, creating quick scoring chances and keeping the pace high. This winter, he’ll step into a much larger role. With the ball in his hands more consistently, he’ll be tasked with creating opportunities for both himself and his teammates. Expect a more complete version of Jace this season — attacking off the dribble, initiating sets, moving efficiently off the ball, and embracing a leadership role for Bishop Seabury.

Jace capped off an outstanding season by earning First Team honors, solidifying his status as one of the top performers in his class. He saved his best for last, delivering a dominant 26-point performance to close out the season, showcasing his full offensive arsenal. Whether attacking the rim, knocking down mid-range jumpers, or stretching the floor with his three-point shot, Jace proved to be a relentless scorer who could take over games when it mattered most.
