Looking forward to seeing how these guys careers play out and how they progress before college. All 3 of these guys are trending to be really good in college.

If LSU gets 2 of the 3 RB I hope Berry is one of the 2 they get!

Berrys highlights are ridiculous, I like Simon as well he has good vision and anticipates very well. Also it helps to have his o line he wasn’t getting touched in most of his highlights.

LSU and Frank will have to maintain contact with Berry and stay in his ear since Jabar Jaluke is related to Harlem’s family. I like LSU’s chances; however, 2 years is an eternity until NSD.

I like simon's running style more than fords.

Berry is going to be the prize of the class.

Jaylon Coleman is another one that looks really good from the Houma area. . Undersized so I doubt he would stay RB unless a scar back role but damn he’s electric with the ball in his hands.

Seriously guys, I've watched a lot of running back film in the past 20 years. I remember seeing Alex Smith and Reggie Bush's senior year.

Berry is the closest thing to Bush there has been. He needs to be a little more vertical and get behind his pads, but he's still a youngster.

Simon's dad is assistant HC at Grambling. He has a brother that plays WR as well.

Is there any chance D'Shaun and Michael may be nephew/ uncle? Or any relationship? Just curious and SIAP.

Additionally: He seems to have similar running style, power but..once he catches the edge he's gone.

There is, but not between D'Shaun and Mike, but rather between Xavier Ford (of Leesville) and Mike. They are nephew and uncle and work out together in the summer. Xavier should be on the list of top state backs for 2025. He rushed for nearly 2,600 yards and scored 32 TDs last season. He was named 4A all state first team.

Xavier Ford is the son of Michael's older brother Frank, who played safety at McNeese State. In HS, Frank went by the last name Larry, but changed it to Ford when he went to McNeese.

Honestly, I like Ford's highlights the best. He has vision, power and speed.
Berry looks like he is VERY hard to take down, but at 165 lbs, I don't see that elite breakaway speed.
Again, Ford's highlights impressed me most.
We seem to really like all three!
Keep them home BK!!!

He won the 100 as a freshman, he’s fast.

Ford looks like a Ford, size and style of runs. The other two, very close in size and style, both look for green grass and with good field vision.
Two more years, can only get better.
