WEST PALM BEACH – This year’s Keiser 7-on-7 Tournament – presented by ESPN West Palm – had an ending to remember for years to come.
Just when almost everyone pegged Vero Beach as the overall tournament winner – it is very easy to see why, to be quite honest – Fort Pierce Westwood taught us how and why talent plus swagger really matters in crunch time.
As the Treasure Coast’s most confident team at this time, Westwood won the whole thing by pulling off a 23-20 comeback win over Vero Beach.
To make this moment possible, the best players from both teams made impactful plays from start to finish in the title game. They were relatively sharp not only in the final, but also throughout the pool play and earlier single-elimination tournament round.
With that being said, here at the Treasure Coast’s Top 10 overall players and those who were in strong consideration for this list.
1. ATH Braylon Vincent – 2024 (Fort Pierce Westwood): Co-MVP of Keiser 7-on-7 Tournament
2. ATH Jaylyn Monds – 2024 (Fort Pierce Westwood): Co-MVP of Keiser 7-on-7 Tournament
3. QB Tyler Aronson – 2024 (Vero Beach): Best overall quarterback of the field – and it wasn’t even close. Watch two plays below to see why the SMU verbal commit was head and shoulders above the rest.
4. WR Jemar Paul – 2024 (Fort Pierce Central): One of four Treasure Coast players to earn a scholarship offer from Keiser after putting it all out there with a series of amazing catches and touchdowns. Watch two plays for yourself and see why Paul is one of the best wide receivers in the Treasure Coast.
5. WR Isaiah Roberts – 2024 (Vero Beach): His speed is elusive as it shows in both live view and on field. His athleticism stands out as well. We have a play to show you.
6. ATH Traveon Townsend – 2026 (Fort Pierce Westwood): What can we say about a young prodigy who caught the tournament-winning touchdown? We catch watch how Townsend found a space for himself in Keiser 7-on-7 Tournament lore.
7. WR/FS Antwan Mitchell – 2024 (Martin County): This rising star stands out by how he wills his way to the ball in action. He will not allow his opposing man to gain separation and make an imapct on him. This earns Mitchell a Keiser offer less than 48 hours after the tournament ended.
8. QB Joseph Weathers – 2026 (Fort Pierce Westwood): What can we say about a young leader who grows with every offensive possession? All we can say is that this sophomore rules his position for the Class of 2026 in the Treasure Coast. Watch for yourself.
9. DB Zach Chapman – 2024 (Martin County): He is an interception waiting to happen on defense. Do not throw his way. You will pay. See what we mean.
10. ATH Xavion “Tutu” Griffin – 2024 (Vero Beach): He knows how to gain separation from his opposition to make key plays in any game. The positioning matters for this standout athlete.
Strongly in consideration: Alphabetical order
ATH Jordan Crutchfield – 2026 (Fort Pierce Westwood)
ATH JahZion Drummond – 2025 (Tradition Prep)
RB Garrick Lewis – 2025 (Martin County)
WR Chayce Taylor – 2024 (Vero Beach)
QB Jake Whiteley – 2024 (Fort Pierce Central)
PLEASE NOTE: We know there were plenty of other standouts from the Treasure Coast. But for this particular list, we decided to assemble the Top 15 overall from this past weekend’s Keiser 7-on-7 Tournament.
What we will do is come up with a separate list for those who were not included here. It will be dubbed the “Who Did We Miss” list.
Stay tuned for that one.
