LSU football just landed one of the biggest names in the 2025 recruiting cycle. Harlem Berry, the No. 1 ranked running back in the nation, has officially committed to the Tigers, sending waves of excitement throughout Baton Rouge and beyond. Berry’s decision is not only a huge recruiting win for head coach Brian Kelly and his staff, but also a statement that LSU remains a powerhouse in attracting elite in-state talent.
A five-star prospect out of St. Martin’s Episcopal School in Metairie, Louisiana, Berry brings explosive speed, elite vision, and dynamic playmaking ability to LSU’s backfield. He has consistently dominated at the high school level and is regarded by scouts as a game-changer capable of making an immediate impact at the collegiate level.
Berry’s commitment adds major firepower to LSU’s already impressive 2025 recruiting class. With his announcement, the Tigers gain a foundational piece around which the offense can be built for years to come. More than just a top talent, Berry is also seen as a leader who could influence other high-profile recruits to join him in Baton Rouge.
For LSU fans, this commitment is about more than just star ratings—it’s about keeping the best talent in Louisiana at home. Berry choosing the Tigers over other national powers like Texas and Florida is a testament to LSU’s continued recruiting dominance in the Southeast.
With Harlem Berry now on board, LSU’s 2025 class is gaining serious momentum. The Tigers may have just secured the face of their future offense—and quite possibly, a future college football superstar.
