Trillion Boys has emerged as one of the premier 7on7 organizations in a competitive environment. From star talent on the roster to flashy uniforms and gear, Trillion Boys has set themselves apart.

Josh Stupin, a quarterback at SMU, is the head of it all. Stupin prepped at Newport Beach (Calif.) Villa Park and played on the 7v7 circuit before beginning his collegiate career. Now with his high school days behind him, he decided to establish one of the hottest 7v7 organizations around the nation.

Stupin has seen his hard work pay off in a big way, as high-level talent from coast to coast has suited up for the Trillion Boys since the team was established. The organization’s Instagram account has more than 30k followers. Additionally, Trillion Boys is set to compete in the first ever Overtime 7v7 tournament, which will be held in Las Vegas this weekend.

“We try to give them the most swag, give them the most comfortable travel experience,” Stupin explained. “We want to make sure that everything’s covered for them and also put them in the best position for exposure.”

Some of the key players on the Trillion Boys roster include Rivals100 prospects Johntay Cook, and Jahlil Hurley, four-star talents Makari Vickers and Tre Wisner, and coveted underclassmen prospects like defensive backs Mario Buford and Khristian Dunbar-Hawkins.

Stupin has juggled the day-to-day duties of being an FBS quarterback and running a high-level 7v7 organization. His schedule includes watching film, working out, improving his own game, and preparing his Trillion Boys squad to be as good as they can be.

The upcoming tournament in Las Vegas provides Stupin and the Trillion Boys an opportunity to make their latest splash.

NOTABLE PROSPECTS ON TRILLION BOYS

Johntay Cook has established himself as one of the premier pass catchers in the entire 2023 recruiting cycle. His polished route-running and explosive game-breaking ability sets him apart from several in the nation. Texas, Texas A&M, Oregon, Ole Miss, and Michigan are among the programs involved with his recruitment.

*****

Jahlil Hurtley is one of the highest-rated members of Nick Saban’s recruiting haul for the current cycle. Hurtley pledged to Alabama in February, giving the Crimson Tide a massive recruiting win at the cornerback position.

*****

Tre Wisner is among the top all-purpose backs in the nation, thanks to his ability as a rusher and as a receiver. Wisner is a gifted playmaker that is a threat whenever he touches the ball. Wisner committed to Texas in April and is still being pursued by the likes of Miami, Oklahoma, and Florida State.

*****

Makari Vickers is yet another Rivals100 prospect on the Trillion Boys. The cornerback out of Tallahassee features a great frame and holds offers from all over. Alabama, Florida State, and Oklahoma are among the heavy-hitters in pursuit.

*****

Khristian Dunbar-Hawkins is a Rivals250 prospect out of California. The West Coast recruit excels in the secondary and is among the most coveted defensive back recruits in the 2024 recruiting cycle.

*****

Mario Buford is a four-star prospect out of DeSoto (Texas), a power program in the Dallas-Fort Worth area. Buford is being recruited by several Power Five programs and has an older brother that plays at Nebraska. His length at corner makes him a headache for receivers.

******

Mikey Matthews is a three-star recruit in the 2023 recruiting cycle. The shifty wideout is a playmaker with the ball. He plays high school ball at Mission Viejo (Calif.) and is considering Pac 12 programs such as Arizona and Utah in his recruitment.

*****

Jack Stupin is a three-star passer in the 2024 recruiting class, and he showcases his skills behind center for the Trillion Boys. Stupin holds multiple offers ahead of his junior season at Tustin (Calif.), including Houston and Pittsburgh.

*****

UCLA commit Grant Gray provides the Trillion Boys with another talented pass catcher that can do damage with the ball. Gray gave his pledge to the Bruins over a host of offers in April, including Boise State and Colorado.

*****

Four-star Tennessee commit Ethan Davis gives the Trillion Boys a big-framed pass catcher at tight end. The 6-5, 221-pound Davis is a red zone weapon that uses his size to beat defenders. The Collins Hill (Ga.) prospect committed to the Vols over Auburn, Florida, Georgia, LSU, and more.

*****

Another DeSoto (Texas) product, Caimon Mathis provides the Trillion Boys with a talented defender in the secondary. Mathis is a coach’s son and is being recruited by Arkansas and Washington in the 2023 cycle.

******

Isaac Smith continues to rise in the Rivals rankings - and for good reason. A versatile safety, Smith is being heavily recruited by Georgia, Texas A&M, Mississippi State, and Ole Miss. Smith is a well-rounded athlete that thrives in 7v7 settings.

*****

Israel Carter is another FBS commit on the Trillion Boys. The signal caller out of Centennial (Calif.) is set to play his college ball at Arizona State following the conclusion of his prep career.

Trillion Boys is one of 18 teams set to compete in OT7, a tournament backed by former Heisman Trophy winner and NFL MVP Cam Newton. You can see the full Overtime 7v7 league roster HERE.
