OT7 South Regional: Top Performers
ROUND ROCK, TX — The second and final day of the OT7 South Divisional here in Round Rock on Sunday finished with a tournament victory for Lo Pro over Miami Raw in what was an exciting finale to the event.
This weekend’s slate featured Miami Immortals, Raw Miami, 24k, Sound Mind Sound Body, EPS Blaze, Level82, Defcon Texas, Fast Houston, Elite House, Texas ICE, Grand Elite 7v7, Heat 7v7, 940 Elite, Trillion Boys, 4th Quarter Mentality, Lo Pro, Coast Line Stars and CAT Takeover.
On3 National Recruiting Analyst Sam Spiegelman and Scouting and Rankings Assistant Cody Bellaire were on hand for the OT7 South finale. Let’s take a look at On3’s Top Performers from Day 2 of the tournament.
These top performers are indicative of Sunday’s performance only, not a combined effort stretching over the tournament due to some players only participating for a single day.
On3 MVP: TE KJ Duff
KJ Duff was on a mission Sunday becoming more than just a redzone monster. Yesterday he showed how dominant he could be on 50-50 balls, but today he showed he can separate on intermediate routes and split safeties down the middle of the field. His ability to stretch the field vertically from the slot or outside as a true, big X-receiver created mismatches for him all over the field throughout the day. Duff scored countless touchdowns this afternoon including two in the final game of the tournament. Unfortunately for Duff, it wasn’t enough to get Miami Raw the tournament victory, but he put on his Sunday best for everyone in attendance.
2. ATH Zechariah Sample — Arizona State
Arguably the most electric player on the field on Sunday was Zechariah Sample. The two-way stud from Katy Jordan was flying all over the field on both sides of the ball. His ability to stretch the field vertically and stack corners off the line of scrimmage allowed him to essentially live in the endzone for the majority of the day. He showed some high point ability as well making multiple catches by climbing the ladder. And when his team needed critical stops late in the tournament, the Arizona State commit had his number called at the corner position, locking up whoever was lined up across from him.
3. WR Naeshaun Montgomery (2025)
If KJ Duff was the menace on the inside for Miami Raw, then Naeshaun Montgomery was the monster on the outside. He showed off his pure speed and smooth route running all day on Sunday. He found himself wide open in the back of the end zone on multiple occasions after putting defensive backs on skates. His hip fluidity and smoothness when getting in and out of his breaks was second to none this afternoon. Montgomery was also able to show off his contested
catch ability in the tournament final scoring two touchdowns of his own on deep balls down the sideline.
4. LB Jonah Williams (2025)
Jonah Williams started the day just like he finished yesterday, on an absolute heater. In game one on Sunday, Williams’ first three drives ended with a touchdown on a jump ball in the back of the endzone at receiver, an interception on the following drive at linebacker and then another touchdown via a jump ball in the endzone at receiver. He showed on Sunday that Saturday’s performance was no fluke. He was closing to the football with ease and showed so much comfortability when sitting in zone coverage over the middle of the field throughout the day.

5. WR Elijah Garrick
Elijah Garrick had his number called Sunday afternoon when his team needed him most. He secured the victory for EPS Blaze two games in a row including scoring a last second touchdown in the back of the endzone against CAT Takeover to punch their ticket into the semifinals of the tournament. Garrick showed loose hips and crisp route running throughout the day and flashed strong hands at the catch point.
6. ATH Ondre Evans
The two-way athlete Ondre Evans out of Nashville, TN primarily lined up at corner for Sound Mind Sound Body and stood out in a huge way on Sunday. He was easily the most rocked up corner out on the field throughout the event and truly shined with his ability to change direction and reroute receivers off the line of scrimmage. His fluidity to stay in phase and his ability to stick his foot in the ground and drive on the football was extremely impressive. SMSB didn’t last long on Sunday, but Evans was a star for them.
7. S Donovan Woolen
Donovan Woolen oozes potential with his frame and movement skills and you saw him put it together during Sunday’s event. He showed off his instincts and ability to close to the football from zone coverage. He reads the field so well and has an advanced understanding as to what offenses are trying to do in order to attack the defense. He may not have got his hands on too many passes on Sunday, but he showed he could always be around the football and forced opposing quarterbacks to make inch-perfect throws.
8. ATH Dequane Prevo (2026)
When people talk about burners, Dequane Prevo is what those people are talking about. Prevo is the definition of twitched up. His ability to take the top off of the secondary was on full display on Sunday afternoon. Not only could he beat defenders vertically, but he could catch a curl or a hook route on one side of the field and bob and weave his way through the entire defense and walk into the endzone on the other side of the field. His playmaking skills with the ball in his hands was extremely impressive, especially for being one of the younger prospects at the event.
9. WR Xavier Skowron (2025)
Xavier Skowron primarily played as a defensive back for CAT Takeover today and he showed tremendous ability in all three phases. He could line up as a corner and play physical press-man coverage. His loose hips and ability to trigger to close to the football were excellent in off-man coverage. And his ability to scan the field and play fast as a half field safety were tremendous. He checked a lot of boxes on Sunday and it allowed CAT Takeover to make a run into the quarterfinals of the tournament.
10. QB Maika Eugenio (2026)
Lo Pro were the victors of the tournament and a lot of their success rode on the shoulders of the young 2026 prospect out of Las Vegas. Maika Eugenio was flat out carving defenses all day on Sunday. His ball placement and ability to throw with anticipation were genuinely outstanding for a younger prospect. With a stout frame, quick trigger and natural whip in his arm, Eugenio has the tools to become a high-quality signal caller at the next level.
Additional Notes
- Other defensive backs that performed well on Sunday were Erick Franklin Jr., Dylan Thomas and Jaydan Hardy. Franklin Jr. was making all the calls for EPS Blaze in the secondary and was tremendous in his ability to come downhill and make plays on the ball. Thomas was all over the field for Heat 7v7 as an underneath defender, his change of direction and ball skills were terrific. Hardy was a playmaker all day in the back half for Miami Raw, he came up with some key stops in order to help take his team to the tournament finals.
- Some pass catchers that flashed on Sunday were Boo Carter, Davon Mitchell and Cortez Mills. Carter and Mitchell both didn’t get too deep in the tournament, but in the games they played in on Sunday they both had multiple touchdowns playing above the rim to reel in contested touchdowns. Mills was a go-to target this afternoon and was giving defenses fits on underneath and intermediate routes for the majority of the event on Sunday.
- Deuce Knight performed extremely well for the majority of the event Sunday. He showed he can scan the field quickly and efficiently in order to find the open receiver. Thought he showed off some tremendous physical tools on Sunday.
