Report: 5-star ATH Nyckoles Harbor sets South Carolina official visit

After visiting South Carolina at the end of July, five-star Washington (D.C.) Archbishop Carroll athlete Nyckoles Harbor has locked in a return visit for this fall.

The news, first reported by 247Sports, is significant for the Gamecocks. They had him on campus in the summer of 2021 as well, but because of his busy track schedule, Harbor has only taken one other official visit — a June trip to Miami. He will return to Columbia on Sept. 17, when the Gamecocks host defending national champion Georgia.

He’ll follow that up with an official visit to LSU on October 7 when the Tigers host Tennessee.

The 6-foot-5, 225-pounder is the No. 10 overall prospect in the On3 Consensus, a complete and equally weighted industry-generated average that utilizes all four major recruiting media companies. Harbor, who is one of the country’s elite 100- and 200-meter sprinters at the high school level, could project on either side of the ball at the next level as a tight end or an EDGE rusher.

Nyckoles Harbor Scouting Summary

“Has the best combination of size and speed we’ve seen from a young prospect as a national-level sprinter at 6-foot-5 and over 230 pounds. Runs under 10.4 seconds in the 100 meters with the size and length of a premier pass rushing prospect. Plays both tight end and defensive end for his high school, but has developed into more of an EDGE prospect as a junior. Shows his considerable athleticism as a pass rusher with high end closing speed. Is also able to locate and track the ball as a tight end. Still unrefined technically as a pass rusher. Productive against sub-par competition.” — Charles Power, On3 Director of Scouting and Rankings
