Harlem Berry looks like LSU’s next explosive back
In 2025, true freshman Harlem Berry gave LSU a glimpse of big-play juice, finishing with 491 rushing yards and 2 touchdowns on 104 carries while starting the final six games and ranking among the SEC’s top freshman rushers.[1][8] His calling card is burst and acceleration, backed by elite recruiting pedigree and measurable speed, which makes him a fit for a scheme that can create space and let him stress defenses laterally and vertically.[12][13] The main question is workload and consistency, not talent: he’s still developing in pass-catching and overall power, but his upside is clear.[1][12]
