Wisconsin has extended an offer to Washington (D.C.) Archbishop Carroll five-star EDGE Nyckoles Harbor.

Harbor announced the offer on social media Tuesday.

The Badgers have zero commits in the 2023 class at the moment. Harbor joins Alpharetta (Ga.) Milton Five-Star Plus+ EDGE Lebbeus Overton and Saint Louis (Mo.) IMG Academy athlete Samuel M’Pemba as the 2023 five-star prospects Wisconsin has offered so far.

Nyckoles Harbor is in the elite of the elite of the 2022 class

Nyckoles Harbor is the No. 13 overall prospect 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 ranked by the On3 Consensus as the top EDGE prospect and top recruit from Washington D.C.

On3 ranks Harbor ever higher as the No. 7 overall prospect in the On300.

When the most recent update of the 2023 On300 ranking was released a few months back, On3 National Recruiting Analyst Gerry Hamilton said Harbor was his pick as the top long-term challenger to Arch Manning at the top of the rankings.

“Look, when you have a prospect that’s 6-foot-4, 6-foot-5, over 220 pounds and has posted 10.38 (100 meters) and 21.3 (200 meters) on the track…with that length – you are dealing with a special athlete,” Hamilton said. “And we don’t throw around that term often. Just watching him track the ball at receiver. The dexterity and agility to go with the speed and the frame. He’s one that I’m looking at long-term where people may say, “hmm…this guy reminds me of Jevon Kearse. Could he be the next Freak?” He’s the guy that I could see challenging for No. 1 long-term.”
