Ole Miss · HS Class of 2016
2019 Draft · Rnd 2 · Pick 64Nyck Harbor is the rarest jumbo athlete we've seen as a recruit. He's one of the nation's top sprinters at around 6-foot-5, 225 pounds. While Harbor could play as a pass rusher he's primarily viewed as a big pass catcher at the college level. He could play at an in-line tight end at times, but is more likely to be split out, even on the perimeter. Harbor is bigger than DK Metcalf but has a level of burst and straight line speed that is comparable to the NFL star. Metcalf was a more refined receiver at the same stage.

Scouting Report
Owns 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 with plus length. Has aspirations of running in the Olympics. Runs under 10.3 seconds in the 100 meters with the size and length of a premier pass rusher or pass catcher. Plays both tight end and defensive end for his high school. Was initially considered more of an EDGE prospect, but has turned his focus to offense in order to maintain his lighter weight for track. Easily ran past and separated from top cornerbacks at Under Armour All-America Game practices. Has pleasantly surprising lateral agility and shake as a route runner. Does not catch the ball cleanly with consistency, though he has shown the ability to extend for grabs at times. Will need to develop his technique considerably but has rare athletic upside to be a downfield mismatch as a pass catcher or as a potential pass rusher. Younger for the class, turning 18 years-old in July prior to his freshman season.

Personal Life
Nyckoles Harbor is the ultimate definition of a multi-sport star at Archbishop Carroll High School in Washington, D.C. Along with his talents on the gridiron, Harbor is one of the best sprinters in the country. He ran a 10.38-second 100-meter time and a 21.36-second 200-meter time as a sophomore. “He runs the 100-meter in 10.3 seconds. He can jump out of the gym. He chases down every quarterback. He has a 3.8 GPA. He works as hard as anyone,” Harbor’s high school coach, Robert Harris, said. Harbor’s father, Azuka Harbor, works as a contamination control engineer at the NASA Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Md. His mother, Saundra Harbor, works as a pharmacist. His sister, Giovanna Harbor, is a Penn State alum. He lists cooking as his hobby. Harbor plans to either major in medicine or in engineering.
