Washington (D.C.) Archbishop Carroll five-star athlete Nyckoles Harbor has committed to South Carolina.

He chose the Gamecocks over offers from Michigan, Oregon, Maryland and a handful of others.

The 6-foot-5, 225-pounder is the No. 21 overall prospect in the 2023 class, according to the On3 Consensus, a complete and equally weighted industry-generated average that utilizes all four major recruiting media companies. He also ranks as the nation’s No. 1 athlete and the top senior recruit in the District of Columbia.

Harbor is the highest-ranked prospect in the Gamecocks’ 2023 recruiting class.

Harbor currently has an On3 NIL Valuation of $301K. The On3 NIL Valuation is the industry’s leading index that sets high school and college athletes’ projected annual value (PAV). The NIL valuation does not act as a tracker of the value of NIL deals an athlete has completed to date. It rather signifies an athlete’s value at a certain moment in time.

Nyckoles Harbor Scouting Summary

“Owns 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 with plus length. Has aspirations of running in the Olympics. Runs under 10.3 seconds in the 100 meters with the size and length of a premier pass rusher or pass catcher. Plays both tight end and defensive end for his high school. Was initially considered more of an EDGE prospect, but has turned his focus to offense in order to maintain his lighter weight for track.

…Easily ran past and separated from top cornerbacks at Under Armour All-America Game practices. Has pleasantly surprising lateral agility and shake as a route runner. Does not catch the ball cleanly with consistency, though he has shown the ability to extend for grabs at times. Will need to develop his technique considerably but has rare athletic upside to be a downfield mismatch as a pass catcher or as a potential pass rusher. Younger for the class, turning 18 years-old in July prior to his freshman season.”
