Seven-on-Seven is big business. Every off-season, teams across the country assemble talented high school football players to compete in non-tackle football known as Seven-On. South Florida is no stranger to elite seven-on-seven football, and this weekend brings forth an opportunity to show just how great the Miami-based teams are on a national stage.
In Las Vegas, media company Overtime and former NFL MVP Cam Newton have teamed up to create a high school football league referred to as OT7. Drake and Jeff Bezos have also invested in the venture. The league starts June 9th with the championship final taking place June 12th.
The tournament intends to consist of 24 teams playing 8 games each before advancing to the knockout stage. In attendance will be about 20 5-star, over 50 4-star, and over 70 3-star rated athletes.
The South Florida teams have a bevy of South Florida talent, but it does not end there. Talent from California schools on S FL squads include: Malachi Nelson (Los Alamitos, CA), Jaden Rashada (Pittsburg, CA) and Jurrion Dickey (Valley Christian, CA).
The three South Florida teams in attendance at OT7 will be Defcon1, Miami Immortals, and South Florida Express. Here are some of the best players to watch for during the tournament this week:
