LSU set to sign 5-star and No. 1 RB Harlem Berry
The No. 1 running back in America is set to sign with LSU on Wednesday during the Early Signing Period.
Harlem Berry, a New Orleans native who has gone wire-to-wire as On3’s No. 1 running back prospect, will have his announcement ceremony at 9:30 a.m., his father, Harry Berry, tells The Bengal Tiger staff.
LSU’s announcement of Berry as a signee will happen soon after.
“We’re real excited,” Berry’s father said. “We can’t wait to make this thing official. The LSU staff has made this whole experience unforgettable for our family. Harlem is ready to show up and show out.”
The 5-foot-10, 182-pound Berry pledged to the in-state Tigers on Jan. 3 and has long been established as the top-ranked burner in the 2025 cycle. He was the fifth prospect to join LSU’s 2025 class.

“What stood out to me was the fact that if I go to LSU I feel I can make an impact and difference in the running back room. Also all my family and friends will be able to come watch me play anytime,” Berry told On3 of his decision.
On3’s Scouting Report: LSU getting the best RB in America
“Harlem Berry is the most electric running back in the 2025 cycle, with the ability to be a game-changer in the passing game. He possesses elite burst and effortless movement skills. He transfers his outstanding top end speed onto the field in a functional way and is a threat to take it to the house on any touch. For a young back, he displays outstanding vision, reads blocks and bursts through the line to the second level. The game moves slow for him at the prep level. He has the ability to run through contact and shows balance that belies his size. During the summer prior to his senior season, he showcased advanced pass catching skills and could legitimately line up at receiver. — Cody Bellaire, On3 National Scout
