The country's No. 1-ranked 200-meter sprinter, Nyckoles Harbor II had the college football world on the edge of its collective seat Wednesday when he announced his college choice was the University of South Carolina. 

Harbor, at 6-foot-5, 230-pounds, is an extraordinary athlete with world-class speed to go with a lineman-sized frame. 

Harbor reportedly made recent trips to Maryland, Michigan and Oregon before making his decision. Southern Cal was also considered a top-five finalst. 

According to 247sports.com, Harbor remains interested in track and field as well as football. And despite his potential as a defensive end, he told the schools recruiting him that he would prefer to play tight end and maintain the ability to control his weight so that he can compete on the track. 

Harbor ran 20.76 for 200 meters on a banked track at the Texas Tech Under Armour HS Classic on Jan. 21, which is a US#1 for the indoor season. It's also No. 5 on the all-time high school list. He is also US#1 in the 300 meters with 33.90. 

Harbor is also an exceptional student who aspires to be an orthopedic surgeon or neurosurgeon.
