South Carolina Football: Realistic expectations for 5-star Nyck Harbor this fall

On Signing Day, South Carolina football made headlines when the top-ranked athlete in the country Nyckoles Harbor picked the Gamecocks over Oregon on national television.

The 5-star prospect is, quite literally, a one-of-a-kind player as he is 6’5″ and 230 pounds yet possesses Olympic-level sprint speed. Essentially, Harbor will step on campus as one of the fastest short-sprint players on the team and the fastest long-sprint player on the team while also being the size of a tight end.

Harbor was a defensive end for most of his high school career before becoming a wide receiver. Harbor has (realistic) dreams of running in the Olympics, so he doesn’t want to gain much weight while in college.
