He was one of 50 Native American players selected from around the country to participate in a pro-style workout on Saturday and a showcase game on Sunday. Jacey threw a player out at 2nd base and he hit a double. He proudly took the Lumbee flag with him. There were 21 tribes represented from around the nation with players in the game. Jacey is a rising 12th grader at Purnell Swett High School. He is the catcher for the Rams Baseball Team. He was All-Conference Honorable Mention and All-County Team for the 2023-2024 Athletic School Year. He has played varsity for the past 3 years of high school.
