Rapides Parish Journal

Coach Brian Kelly’s haul at running back would have been in discussion for the No. 1 spot on the list even if the team had only signed Harlem Berry. The Louisiana native is the only five-star running back in the 2025 cycle. Berry has drawn comparisons to former USC star Reggie Bush because he’s that special. He’s a dynamic playmaker that can be used in the backfield and the slot.

But the Tigers also landed JT Lindsey, who racked up nearly 2,800 yards from scrimmage this year. He’s a one-cut slashing running back who is a threat to score a touchdown at any time.
