WATCH: 5-star EDGE Nyckoles Harbor runs insane 10.28 100
Washington (D.C.) Archbishop Carroll EDGE Nyckoles Harbor went viral two weeks ago when he blazed to an eye-popping 10.32 100-meter dash — at 6’5 and 240 pounds. But the nation’s No. 13 overall football prospect in the class of 2023 wasn’t satisfied. A day later, he ran 10.29.
This weekend, he one-upped that with another personal record time of 10.28 seconds.
The sprinter that Harbor edged at the line was Rayshon Luke out of Bellflower (Calif.) St. John Bosco. Luke is a 2022 running back that signed with Arizona and earned MVP honors at the 2022 All-American Bowl in January.
That speed — which Harbor hopes will take him to the Olympics — combined with his size is what makes him one of the most coveted football prospects in the country. Alabama, LSU, USC, Oregon, Georgia, Maryland and Penn State are among a number of programs who have offered and are in heavy pursuit.
Track is the focus right now for Nyckoles Harbor
Due to track, Harbor will not be able to take too many visits until the summer. He visited Maryland, a local program, a little over a month ago. Harbor is working to get his list down to around five to six schools and Maryland is in a good position to be one of those schools, according to On3’s Chad Simmons. He has visited around half a dozen times, so he is very familiar with the local program.

It is still unknown when Harbor will make his commitment. He is all track right now, and he works on recruiting when he has time. A top five is likely to come by the end of the spring or early in the summer. Then Harbor could take his official visits in June and commit or wait until during the season.
It is a split between track and football on what will factor into his decision. When he visits schools, Harbor meets with both sets of coaches. Position could also factor in. He is ranked as the No. 2 EDGE in the country, but some schools are talking about him on the offensive side of the ball. Due to track, playing offense is intriguing to Harbor.
He currently ranks as the nation’s No. 10 overall football prospect, according to the On3 Consensus, a complete and equally weighted industry-generated average that utilizes all four major recruiting media companies. He also checks in as the country’s No. 2 EDGE and the No. 1 player in the District of Columbia.
