The No. 1 running back in America is expected to sign with LSU on Wednesday during the early signing period.

Harlem BerryA New Orleans native who emerged as the No. 1 on-three running back prospect will have his announcement ceremony at 9:30 a.m., his father Harry Berry told The Bengal Tiger staff.

LSU’s announcement of Berry as a signee will occur soon after.

“We’re really excited,” Berry’s father said. “We can’t wait to make this official. The LSU staff made this entire experience unforgettable for our family. Harlem is ready to show up and show itself.”

The 5-foot-10, 182-pound Berry committed to the Tigers in-state on Jan. 3 and has long established himself as the top 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 going to LSU, I feel like I can make an impact and make a difference in the running back room. Plus, all my family and friends can come over and watch me play at any time.” Berry informed On3 of his decision.

On3 scouting report: LSU lands best RB in America

“Harlem Berry is the most electrifying running back in the 2025 cycle, with the ability to be a game-changer in the passing game. He has elite burst and effortless movement abilities. He transfers his outstanding top speed to the pitch in a functional way and is dangerous with every touch of the ball. For a young back, he shows excellent vision, reading blocks and rushing through the line to the second level. At the preparation level, the game progresses slowly for him. He has the ability to run on contact and displays balance that belies his size. In the summer before his senior season, he showed advanced pass-catching skills and could certainly play as a receiver. — Cody Bellaire, On3 National Scout
