Santa Ana, CA – For 12 years the Pylon 7v7 Tournament has showcased top talent on the field starting from regional action in New York to expanding across the nation with 23 tournaments scheduled in 2020 with the National Championship held May 23-25. As the popularity of the nation’s top tournament continues to expand with all-star and scholastic teams mixing it up, the talent on the field grows as well. The founders of the tournament proudly boast over 225 active NFL players as tournament alumni, and the grouping at the Southern California event over the weekend promises to add to the numbers.

Team Makasi took home the high school level trophy and Ground Zero’s freshmen team laid claim to the championship in their bracket. All in all, 50-plus teams competed with numerous players filling the various rosters already receiving scholarship offers. Additionally, many future four- and three-star talents playing in the freshmen, eighth/seventh grade, and sixth/fifth were fine-tuning their skills preparing for their time in the eventual spotlight.
