Wide receiver Nyck Harbor is passing on an early exit to the NFL in favor of a return for one more season at South Carolina, the freakishly fast standout announced on social media Thursday afternoon.

Harbor made a big leap as junior this season when he caught 30 passes, second on the squad, for a team-leading 618 yards with a team-high six receiving touchdowns.

He’ll look to make another big developmental jump with another season under wide receivers coach Mike Furrey in 2026.
