Harlem Berry is a highly-rated player who is currently attending St. Matrins Episicol School in Louisiana. This young man is making quite the future for himself, as he is not only an absolute phenom at his sport, but growing up in Metairie, Harlem Berry will get the opportunity to play for the LSU Tigers.
A true homegrown and home-developed talent. It will be an exciting adventure to see this young star develop his skills and talent and flourish at the next level and beyond. Let us take a look at who Harlem Berry is as a player and what value he has in future Devy Leagues and beyond.
Harlem Berry As A Player
The 5-11 175lb Running back is currently ranked as the number two running back on the 247sports ranking site, as well as number 48 overall. His Maxpreps stats are truly eye-popping with over 1900 yards, and 40+ touchdowns, it is no wonder this young man was highly sought after by many schools. Many top SEC schools were recruiting this talented running back, but ultimately it was LSU that got Harlem Berry’s commitment.
This explosive back has great reading ability to see plays develop in front of him, as well as anticipate the defense’s next actions. His ability to make, and keep plays alive is already at a high level and will continue to improve with the development at LSU. One slight drawback that has been noted by some scouts is his speed translation from the track markers to that of the field.
There is a slight tick down that draws a concern if it can be called that. From the current perspective, this is an easy fix as he will continue to grow and develop and turn that flaw into a strength. There is little else to worry about from this elite back.
Harlem Berry Devy Outlook
Harlem Berry is a future number one-round draft pick, that much is certain. While he may not have the bulk of Bijan Robinson, yet, there is another elite colligate running back that Harlem Berry is drawing comparisons to, and that is Reggie Bush. For those teams looking for an impact player at the running position, then please focus on Berry.
He is on an elite team, he will get touches on the ball, and most importantly he is going to grow and develop as he spends his time learning and improving from the LSU staff. The running back position is looking to turn a corner after a few years of a few elite backs. Christian McCaffery and his injuries have passed the torch to the likes of Jonathan Taylor and Bijan Robinson.
But who will carry it on once these two great backs have gotten past their prime? This fantasy guru sees Harlem Berry grabbing the touch and taking the next steps in the great line of elite fantasy running backs. Do not hesitate to follow this young man’s amazing career, be bold and draft him early.
