South Carolina wide receiver Nyckoles Harbor is going to be a player used early and often in College Football ’25. The pass catcher/track star boasts incredible ratings, leading many to call him a video game “cheat code.”
Moving into his sophomore season for the Gamecocks, he just wrapped up a rookie year of double duty in Columbia.
On the football field, he saw action in 12 games, hauling in 12 receptions for 195 yards and a score. His whopping 16.3 yards per catch ranked second on the team behind only first-round draft pick Xavier Legette.
The coaching staff hopes he can build on that early experience with a productive 2024 campaign.
Possessing size and speed, he has the potential to become the ultimate deep ball threat.
Not only did he show off his wheels on the gridiron last fall, but he also impressed as a member of the South Carolina track and field squad in the spring.
He was timed at 10.10 in the 100 meter and 20.20 in the 200-meter, all while dwarfing tinier opponents. He even gave it a go at qualifying for the 2024 Olympic Games in Paris, though he’s since turned his attention back to the football field.
Many believe he’s the fastest player in the sport, and that’s been reflected by his ratings in College Football ’25.
Nyckoles Harbor is a cheat code.
Recruiting guru Hayes Fawcett detailed Harbor’s attributes in the new video game, and it’s clear they’ve taken that speed and size into account.
