Family of 5-star Nyckoles Harbor denies reported Colorado visit

A week after top recruit Cormani McClain geo-tagged himself in Tampa, Florida, despite being in Boulder, Colorado, five-star athlete Nyckoles Harbor appears to be doing the reverse.

Harbor posted on his Instagram story Monday morning that he was in Boulder, but Harbor’s father and high school coach tell On3’s Chad Simmons that is not the case. The family is instead back in Washington D.C. after Nyckoles competed in a track meet in Lubbock, Texas, over the weekend. Harbor himself also confirmed with On3 that he is not visiting Colorado.

The 6-foot-5, 225-pounder is the No. 19 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.

Harbor has already taken official visits to Michigan, South Carolina, and Maryland, and he is expected to visit Oregon this weekend ahead of National Signing Day on February 1.

Nyckoles Harbor On3 Scouting Summary

The following is the On3 Scouting Summary for Nyckoles Harbor:

“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.”
