Five-star Washington (D.C.) Archbishop Carroll athlete Nyckoles Harbor is ready to make his college decision.

The top uncommitted recruit in the country will announce his choice on Wednesday, February 1 around 1:00 p.m. ET on ESPN, his coach tells On3.

The 6-foot-5, 235-pounder is unofficially down to five schools in his recruitment: Michigan, Maryland, Miami, Oregon and South Carolina. He took official visits to each of those five schools, except for Miami, with the most recent coming this past weekend at Oregon.

Harbor is the No. 21 overall prospect and No. 1 athlete in the 2023 cycle, according to the On3 Consensus, a complete and equally weighted industry-generated average that utilizes all four major recruiting media companies. He is also the No. 1 player in Washington D.C.

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.”
