Yap, if they want to get the very best out of his talents, they will pull him out of St Martins and into a more dedicated football program.

He's already getting offers and the parents stress academics.

What's the upside to going to a Catholic League school or Curtis from this point?

Don't say bigger offers, because with Nebraska coming in this week, the others are going to come too.

I recently Played him this year and he was one of the toughest people to bring down and i've played players like Khai Prean and Jmond Tapp and he tops that list. He is legit he just needs more size then what he has now.

Late runs into the playoffs are cool too. Tough to simulate going on the road like that against better teams and performing well.

Pretty cool highlights, very well done. My 2025 had a good reel (he clearly needs an editor though), but he didn’t run away from people like that.

Maybe he’s specifically at St Martins because his family doesn’t want to bring him to the city

A buddy of mine is close with Berry’s family. He said that Berry is hoping to get offered by LSU and Florida this summer in the camp circuit. Let’s hope CBK is on it. This kid could be special.

Harlem Berry vs Ascension Christian

Clean,

Were you at Clark Field today ? Huge recruiting and skills camp with 100+ HS Fr., So., & Jr’s. from around the State put on by The FormuLA. Skilled positions included QB, WR, RB, DB’s, and a handful of LB’s.

Here’s my observation and breakdown of Harlem Berry. He is 15 yrs old and every bit of 5’11” 170 lbs. Was unguardable as a RB lined up vs. DB’s. LB’s would not have a prayer to cover him. He probably had 10 targets, caught 8, and 2 were underthrown passes by the QB due to Berry’s speed. He ran passing tree routes from 20 to 40 yds and beat the DB’s by 3-5 yds. Passes that were contested, he high-pointed and positioned his body to make every catch.

Berry has amazing speed and separation. Great hands and would be a nightmare match-up in the slot or on a wheel route. His skill set reminds me of Travis Etienne.

He grew up in NO East and his parents (dad graduated from St Aug) moved the family to the city due to how dangerous it was where they lived. Berry’s parents valued his education since he has solid grades. They visited multiple schools, while being honest inquiring about financial aid assistance. St. Martin’s was the only school that agreed to help out financially. Since putting up crazy rushing numbers and his T&F dominance, numerous schools from around the city are interested in his talent. The family and Harlem are very happy where he’s at.

I spoke to Harlem for several minutes while introducing myself as a STM alum, and complimenting his recent accomplishments. Every reply included a thank you, yes sir, and I appreciate your support. You can tell this kid is special.

Harlem plays for Coach Fuselier on the 7-on-7 team “4th Quarter Mentality” . Here is his picture from several weeks ago after winning the State 100m and 200m titles

Dude’s a certified beast.

Snake David Bowen left lsu for a role at A$M and this seems to be one of his first moves. Hopefully this shows that lsu had Bowen in touch and now that he’s gone the snake knows how high HB25 is on the board and that he has to hit early before Tigers can develop a new connection there.

100% spot on ... Harlem got the personal phone call and A&M offer directly from David Bowen on Sat. Because Bowen could not get in touch Harlem, he called Donald Fuselier (7on7 coach) who was able to track down a phone so Harlem could take the call. Bowen planned the offer perfectly since it happened 1 day before this recruiting/skills/7-on-7 tournament. Harlem posted the A&M offer on Twitter and it was re-tweeted by his friends and coaches. It was mentioned several times yesterday amongst people who I spoke to. The common phrase heard was ... "A&M's bringing that NIL money".

Harlem has 3-yrs of HS football left and a lot can happen before 2025. He will definitely get bigger, faster, and stronger. LSU cannot slow play this kid as he is developing relationships with recruiting coordinators and director of player personnel with other big-time schools. I have no doubt ALA will offer Harlem real soon just to piggy-back off A&M's move. Then it will be FLA, AU, Texas, OU, Ole Miss, Tenn, etc .... Harlem will be a 50-offer kid as I just hope LSU is more pro-active and not reactive.

just for comparison ... T&F numbers
15-yo Berry - 17-yo Travis Etienne

100m - 10.76 ------- 10.50
200m - 22.12 ------- 22.04

That explains why my son asked if he was playing JV when he saw his highlight reel.
