South Carolina's 2023 recruiting class is one of the best that Gamecock fans have seen in almost a decade. It's a group that includes several players Shane Beamer and his staff are hoping can contribute in year one, players like offensive lineman Markee Anderson, edge rusher Desmond Umeozulu, running back Dontavious Braswell, along with several others.
The biggest name, however, out of this same haul is Nyckoles Harbor, who will be playing wide receiver full-time this Fall. Harbor was a five-star recruit this past cycle and had some of the best college football programs in the country fighting to land his eventual pledge, but Beamer and the Gamecocks won out on National Signing Day back in February.
Harbor brings talent to the field and long-term potential as a professional sprinter who aspires to be in the Olympics one day. This has caught the attention of several companies who wish to have relationships with the 18-year-old, and one fragrance company has apparently gotten its foot in the door, as On3 Business Analyst Pete Nakos reported on Tuesday that Harbor signed an NIL deal with Ovation For Men Sport. Nyckoles will get a custom suit out of the agreement, and Ovation will eventually donate to a charity of Harbor's choosing.
