The Future Is Now: South Carolina football freshmen who are ready to help right now

South Carolina Football freshmen ready to help right now:
Wide Receiver Nyckoles Harbor
College football’s biggest freak barely played in week 1 against North Carolina, much to the chagrin of South Carolina football fans. He didn’t play a ton against Furman, either, but he made his first impact for the garnet and black.
Early in the 4th quarter, fellow freshman LaNorris Sellers hit Harbor for Sellers’ second score. Harbor ran a short fade route, and Sellers threw it right to his back shoulder. Harbor twisted his body, used his impressive size to box out the defender, and plucked the ball out of the air for the score.
Harbor is a special talent who can help this football team. His top-end speed and elite size for the wide receiver position will make him a matchup nightmare for opposing defenses if he can become just an average receiver at the other aspects of the position.
If Harbor can get off the line of scrimmage against tough press coverage, if he can run routes in an acceptable way, and if he can consistently catch the football, the sky is the limit for him, even as a freshman.
