Gamecocks got that loving feeling for 5-star standout Nyckoles Harbor
Dec. 24, 2022
Beamer said Wednesday during a signing day news conference. “A lot of people know one in particular who I’m referring to, and then there are some other ones out there as well.” Beamer couldn’t say his name, per NCAA rules, but he was likely hinting at South Carolina’s interest in defensive end Nyckoles Harbor.
Harbor is a five-star recruit from Washington, D.C. who is set to make his college decision in February. He projects as a tight end or a defensive end at the college level. Harbor would be the first five-star prospect that Beamer’s landed at South Carolina. If South Carolina were to land him, he’d be the program’s first five-star signee since Jordan Burch (2020) and Zacch Pickens (2019).
Harbor is reported to be choosing between South Carolina, Maryland, Michigan, LSU and Miami. He also is able to play the tight end position and is noted for his ability to make plays in the passing game due to his athleticism. Beamer might have alluded to that as well when speaking about the team’s tight-end group. “We may or may not be done in that room, also,” Beamer said.
Harbor visited South Carolina for the Georgia game. He told 247Sports that he’s yet to have an in-home visit with head coaches and that they’re all saving their one visit for January. The traditional National Signing Day is Feb. 1. “I think he’s super close with the Gamecock commits,” 247Sports director of recruiting Steve Wiltfong said this week about Harbor on the network’s “College Football Recruiting Show.” Wiltfong indicated that Michigan, Maryland and South Carolina are believed to be his leaders. “He’s built a great relationship with their staff, and took an official visit to Columbia this fall as well.” With quarterback LaNorris Sellers on Friday becoming the Gamecocks’ 22nd signee, those already in the class continued to make sure Harbor knows how the Gamecocks feel about him.
“@Nyck1k the door is open just walk through bro,” defensive end signee Monteque Rhames posted to Twitter on Friday. Said fellow defensive lineman Desmond Umeozulu on Twitter: “We aren’t done yet! We want @Nyck1k”
