Nyckoles Harbor is the ultimate definition of a multi-sport star at Archbishop Carroll High School in Washington, D.C. Along with his talents on the gridiron, Harbor is one of the best sprinters in the country. He ran a 10.38-second 100-meter time and a 21.36-second 200-meter time as a sophomore. “He runs the 100-meter in 10.3 seconds. He can jump out of the gym. He chases down every quarterback. He has a 3.8 GPA. He works as hard as anyone,” Harbor’s high school coach, Robert Harris, said. Harbor’s father, Azuka Harbor, works as a contamination control engineer at the NASA Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Md. His mother, Saundra Harbor, works as a pharmacist. His sister, Giovanna Harbor, is a Penn State alum. He lists cooking as his hobby. Harbor plans to either major in medicine or in engineering.
