Gamecocks Star Nyck Harbor Gives Back with $10,000 Donation to His High School’s Athletic Department
South Carolina wide receiver Nyckoles “Nyck” Harbor is making headlines once again—this time for his generosity off the field. The standout Gamecock athlete recently donated $10,000 to the Archbishop Carroll High School Athletic Department, the very institution where his football journey began.
Harbor, a former five-star prospect and one of the most highly-touted recruits in the country during the 2023 cycle, made the donation as a show of gratitude to the school that helped shape his early career both academically and athletically. Located in Washington, D.C., Archbishop Carroll played a crucial role in Harbor’s development—not just as a football star but as a multi-sport athlete and student leader.
Known for his blazing speed and elite two-sport capabilities (track and football), Harbor has quickly become a fan favorite at South Carolina, both on the field and in the community. Now entering his sophomore season under head coach Shane Beamer, Harbor is expected to play a larger role in the Gamecocks’ offense this fall, following flashes of brilliance during his freshman year in Columbia.
The $10,000 donation is more than just a financial contribution—it’s a powerful message of giving back and lifting up the next generation of student-athletes. Harbor’s gift will go toward improving equipment, facilities, and resources for Archbishop Carroll’s athletic programs.
His act of generosity has drawn praise across social media from both fans and fellow alumni, further cementing his status as not just a star athlete, but a role model as well.
In a world where college athletes are increasingly leveraging their platforms for greater good, Nyck Harbor’s donation stands out as a testament to his character, loyalty, and commitment to building a legacy that extends far beyond the gridiron.
