Where does LSU’s 2025 recruiting class rank after landing Harlem Berry?

On Saturday, the Tigers can land the No. 1 overall player in the 2025 class.

[autotag]Brian Kelly[/autotag] has been working hard on the 2025 recruiting class, and he has currently landed the No. 1 wide receiver and the No. 1 running back in the class. On Saturday, the Tigers can land the No. 1 overall player as well as the No. 1 quarterback in the class, [autotag]Bryce Underwood[/autotag], will announce his commitment.

Where does the class currently rank leading up to this Saturday?

The Tigers class is currently ranked as the No. 2 overall class, right behind the Georgia Bulldogs and just ahead of the Alabama Crimson Tide. If Kelly can land Underwood on Saturday, that will easily propel the class to the No. 1 class in the country.

Kelly has a great signing class already in 2024 and the class is not finished yet. The Tigers just flipped the No. 1 defensive lineman in the class from Texas A&M and there is still one more player the Tigers are after in that class in Terry Bussey. Recruiting is picking up big time on the Bayou.

Five-star 2025 Louisiana RB moves back commitment

Harlem Berry is expected to commit to LSU, but he’s shifting back his commitment date by a couple of weeks.

Five-star 2025 Metairie (La.) St. Martin’s running back and LSU target [autotag]Harlem Berry[/autotag] was expected to announce a commitment decision on Dec. 18. However, his plans have since changed.

Berry is the No. 1 running back in the 2025 class, and he ranks as the No. 11 overall player nationally per On3 and No. 16 per 247Sports. LSU holds three Crystal Balls for Berry, two of which have been place in the last week.

The Tigers are also a heavy favorite to land him per the On3 Recruiting Prediction Machine at 98.7%.

LSU already has one five-star prospect committed in the 2025 class in [autotag]Dakorien Moore[/autotag], and it will look to add another in what could be a special group.

Gators land in top 3 for consensus top-ranked RB in 2025 cycle

Florida made the penultimate cut in four-star running back Harlem Berry’s recruitment on Monday. The Gators have to beat LSU and Texas.

On Monday, the top running back in the class of 2025 narrowed his college options down to three programs and set a commitment date of Dec. 18.

According to On3’s Hayes Fawcett, Berry will pick among Florida, LSU and Texas come next month. LSU “feels like home” and is the favorite to land him, but there’s something about UF that has kept the Gators in the race.

“The swamp gives off great energy and is amazing,” Berry said when briefly breaking down his finalists.

Berry is a consensus four-star recruit who is likely to pick up a fifth once he starts his senior year of high school. The On3 industry ranking, which uses a weighted average from all four major recruiting services, puts him at No. 17 overall in the class of 2025 and No. 1 among running backs and players from the state of Louisiana.

The Gators have just one player under a commitment from the class of 2025, and he also happens to play running back. Waltez Clark out of Plant High in Tampa locked in his commitment back in September.

Michigan football offers top running back in 2025 class

Can #Michigan lure another top back to Ann Arbor? #GoBlue

If you want to run the football, it’s a good bet to select the college in Ann Arbor, Michigan.

The Wolverines have established a dominant running attack in the past couple of years and now they’re going after some of the top backs in the country.

In 2024, the maize and blue have Jordan Marshall, the four-star from Cincinnati, committed, and are working on adding Taylor Tatum, the fellow elite back from Texas. Now they’re turning their attention to 2025, working to get a jump start on the backs in that class.

Enter Harlem Berry, the No. 1 tailback in the country, per the On3 Industry Ranking. Berry, who hails from Metairie (La.) St. Martin’s Episcopal School, is rated a four-star at No. 11 overall according to On3’s proprietary rankings.

On Thursday, Berry announced that he’s received an offer from Michigan football.

He received the offer from Ron Bellamy, the wide receivers coach, which is notable as Bellamy himself is a Louisiana native who made the trek up north to play for the maize and blue. Bellamy was also key in recruiting Amorion Walker from Louisiana in the 2022 cycle, and he also coached Donovan Edwards at the high school-level.

At the moment, both On3 and 247Sports predict that Berry will end up at LSU. But he also has offers from Alabama, Auburn, Florida State, Nebraska, Ohio State, Oklahoma, Ole Miss, Oregon, Texas, Texas A&M, and USC.

Berry is listed at 5-foot-11, 175-pounds at this juncture. A dual-sport athlete that also runs track, Berry reportedly has run a 100-meter dash at 10.57 seconds — a blazing fast time.

Check out his sophomore highlights below:

Top 2025 running back sets spring LSU visit

The New Orleans prospect will be on campus April 1.

[autotag]Brian Kelly[/autotag] is still working to flesh out what could be a special 2024 recruiting class for LSU, but he’s balancing focusing on the present with thinking about the future.

In the latter vein, the Tigers will be hosting No. 1 2025 running back [autotag]Harlem Berry[/autotag] for a visit on April 1. Berry, a Metairie native who plays at St. Martin’s Episcopal School, told On3’s Sam Spiegelman that LSU running backs coach [autotag]Frank Wilson[/autotag] has been the most frequent visitor at his school.

Wilson is the Tigers’ ace recruiter who focuses on the New Orleans area given his deep ties to the city, so it’s not surprising that he would make Berry a priority. However, LSU isn’t the only school vying for his talents.

Berry also has a visit set with Oklahoma on March 25, and he said he’ll likely take a trip to Florida, too. Berry’s uncle is Jabbar Juluke, the Gators’ running backs coach. UF is yet to offer him, but given his talent, that’s likely to change.

On3 ranks Berry as the No. 12 prospect in the 2025 class and the best player in Louisiana. There will be a lot of competition to land him, but LSU presently seems to be in a decent spot for the in-state running back.
