A welcoming addition to the Jersey Force ‘s 17U group, Jalen Maldonado Jalen Maldonado Jalen Maldonado 6'2" | CG Elizabeth | 2026 State NJ enjoyed strong July live periods that saw him showcase more of his offensive skillset outside of his ability to be a dangerous shooter from the perimeter. In combination with his ability to shoot the three ball at a high clip, Maldonado showcased his ability to be a strong downhill driver when defenses ran him off the three point line and finish in the paint with strength and touch around the rim.

Maldonado has continued to see his recruitment pick up a little bit of steam, racking in a handful of Division II offers.
