Jace Birney brings frontline toughness and a scoring pedigree to Franklin
Birney is a 6-foot-4 freshman F/C for Franklin who logged action in 11 games in the 2025-26 season, scoring 15 points with eight rebounds, two steals and an assist in 30 total minutes. He’s already shown instant-off-the-bench value with efficient shooting flashes and a nose for the ball, and his high-school résumé is loud: he finished as Ballard Memorial’s all-time career scoring leader with 2,722 points. That combination of proven scoring touch, activity on the glass, and versatile frontcourt size makes him a sneaky-fit for teams wanting a physical, high-energy big who can grow into more.
