Nyckoles Harbor chooses South Carolina: Nation's No. 1 athlete commits on national television

Archbishop Carroll (Washington D.C.) 5-star was the top uncommitted prospect entering National Signing Day

Nyckoles Harbor, the nation's No. 1 athlete, is headed to South Carolina. 

The 6-foot-5, 225-pound five-star edge rusher chose the Gamecocks over Oregon in a nationally televised announcement at Archbishop Carroll High School in Washington D.C. 

The decision Wednesday morning came after the Ducks and head coach Dan Lanning made a late push for Harbor. Harbor, who is also a highly-touted track prospect, visited Oregon last weekend.

Harbor was trending toward pledging to head coach Shane Beamer and the Gamecocks, but 

He ran a blazing 6.64 60-meter dash, which places him among the fastest football prospects in the last decade.

Harbor is the nation's No. 15 prospect entered National Signing Day as the top uncommitted prospect.
