The final rankings for the 2025 class have been released by On3, and LSU closed out with a trio of 5-star signees in the On300.

And while 5-star LSU signees DJ Pickett and Carius Curne both landed inside the final Top 32 prospects in America, only running back Harlem Berry went wire-to-wire as the No. 1 running back from the first set of rankings to the final release.

Berry debuted in the initial On300 for the 2025 class as the No. 1 running back in March 2023, and he closed out his high school career as On3’s top-ranked running back, a Top 20 overall prospect and the highest-ranked recruit in Louisiana.

Berry, who signed with LSU in December and enrolled for the spring semester in Baton Rouge, is the highest-ranked running back to come out of Louisiana since Leonard Fournette signed with the Tigers a decade ago.

Now, New Orleans is sending another No. 1 running back to Baton Rouge to play for LSU running backs coach Frank Wilson.

Here’s the final On3 breakdown on the speedy running back out of the Bayou State.

1. Harlem Berry — LSU

School: Metairie (La.) St. Martin’s Episcopal
On3 Industry Ranking: No. 17 NATL.

Scouting Summary: “The most electric running back in the 2025 cycle, with the ability to be a game-changer in the passing game. Possesses elite burst and effortless movement skills. Measured in at 5-foot-10, 182 pounds at the On3 Elite Series prior to his senior season. . Transfers his outstanding top end speed onto the field in a functional way. A threat to take it to the house on any touch. A light, springy mover who shifts gears and changes directions at full speed. Displays outstanding vision. Reads blocks and bursts through the line to the second level. The game moves slow for him at the prep level. Runs through contact and shows balance that belies his size. Showcased advanced pass catching skills during the summer prior to his senior season.

…Has the skill level to legitimately line up at receiver. A massive mismatch out of the backfield when covered by linebackers. Registers as a high end athlete with elite speed on the track and in the combine setting. Won state titles in the 100 and 200 meters as a sophomore with times of 10.57 seconds and 21.43 seconds, respectively. Highly productive over his high school career.”
