Tre Harris, Ole Miss: 2025 NFL Draft Profile & Scouting Report
Harris was a two-star athlete recruit from Ovey Comeaux High School in Lafayette, La. in the class of 2020
Ole Miss wide receiver Tre Harris started his final collegiate season on fire, but a groin injury limited him to just eight appearances. He lacks elite speed and twitch but is a great route runner with good overall size in a class dominated by slot receivers. Harris finished as a top 50 prospect on my final big board for the 2025 NFL Draft.

Background: Harris was a two-star athlete recruit from Ovey Comeaux High School in Lafayette, La. in the class of 2020. He was the No. 2,258 (three-star) recruit according to 247Sports and No. 2,099 (three-star) for On3.com. Harris was an unranked two-star recruit for Rivals. He didn’t receive a star rating or grade out of 100 from ESPN. Harris transferred from Louisiana Tech to Ole Miss for the 2023 season. He played quarterback in high school with current New York Giants wide receiver Malik Nabers. Harris earned First Team All-District honors as a senior. He lettered four times in basketball and was a captain twice. Harris earned basketball First Team All-District honors as a junior and Second Team All-State honors as a senior. He was born on Feb. 28, 2002.
Injuries & Off-Field: Missed 2023 Georgia Tech game with a knee injury suffered against Tulane that required minor surgery, suffered a groin injury against LSU (2024) that caused him to miss three games, reaggravated groin injury against Florida (2024) that caused him to miss Ole Miss’ last regular season game
Awards: 2021 Honorable Mention All-CUSA, 2022 First Team All-CUSA, 2023 Second Team All-SEC (Athlon, CFN), 2024 Third Team All-SEC, 2024 Second Team All-American (AP)
Pros: Good height and density, battles through press with physicality, tempos routes, takes what the defense gives him underneath, quickly eats up the corner’s cushion, stacks soft shoe press corners at the intermediate level, separates late on fades, route running generates separation, manipulates leverage with his route stem, forces corners to open their hips before crossing their faces, head and shoulder fakes, sharp cuts at the stem’s peak to separate, examples crossing up CBs at the stem’s peak, quick gathers for comebacks and curls, sells the stutter-go at an elite level, accelerates off stutter-step to stack off-man defenders, sits in holes against zone, ball tracking, ball skills pop, plucks ball outside frame, late hands, examples of acrobatic one-handed snags or grabs over defenders, verticality to play above the rim, muscles through some would-be tackles, stiff arm, enough speed to cause damage after the catch
Cons: No significant special teams experience since 2020, limited exposure to the slot, lacks twitch and speed to consistently elude press, straightforward release package lacks refinement and creativity, not a sudden or dynamic athlete by league standards, route tree not aided by Ole Miss’ repetitive concepts, lacks elite vertical speed, burst is average, not a consistent vertical threat, lacks twitch and elusiveness, not a traditional YAC threat, power and contact balance after the catch is limited, two fumbles in 2024, history of drops, not consistent climbing the ladder at the catch point, could show more urgency and sustained effort on stalk blocks
Overview: Harris offers a good combination of height and density in a wide receiver class dominated by smaller slot options. He lacks significant special teams experience and hasn’t spent much time operating as a power slot. Harris uses his build to muscle through press coverage because he lacks the creative twitch and speed to dodge jams. He takes a very straightforward approach with his release package that needs refinement to counter or evade early contact. Harris takes what defenses give him underneath but also uses his built up speed to erase cornerbacks’ cushions and occasionally stack them in the intermediate level of the field. The redshirt senior isn’t a downfield burner, but he separates late on fade routes to offer a vertical option. His knowledge and usage of leverage, tempo, and route fakes help him generate natural separation as a route runner. Harris tricks corners into opening their hips before breaking the opposite direction, and he sets defenders up with shoulder and head fakes before sharply snapping of his route stem. He sells defenders on his stutter-go at an elite level and also uses stutter-steps early in routes to lull defenders before accelerating past them. Harris quickly gathers to separate back down the stem on comebacks and curls. He isn’t a sudden or dynamic athlete at the top of the stem, but his ability to manipulate defenders evens the playing field. The Louisiana native does a good job finding holes in zone coverage to set the offense up with easy completions. He ran a very basic route tree at Ole Miss that relied on the program’s repetitive concepts. Harris doesn’t produce consistent vertical opportunities because of his limited speed and burst. Some defensive backs sit on his routes in off-man and wait for him to break before quickly closing and crowding him at the top of the stem. He lacks the burst to scare these squatting defenders off. Harris tracks the ball well and makes some highlight reel plays with his body control and soft hands. He gets his hands up late to avoid giving the cornerback an easy target. His basketball background shows up when he plays above the rim, but he’s inconsistent at beating defenders in crowded air space. Harris uses his play strength and stiff arm to break some tackles after the catch but lacks the elusiveness and contact balance to generate many yards after the initial hit. He doesn’t play up to his potential as a blocker.
Overall, Harris is a detailed route runner who checks enough athletic boxes to generate natural separation and serve as one of a team’s primary receiving options. He will operate at an athletic disadvantage against many corners in the NFL, so he needs to expand his route tree and release package to ensure his refined approach to the position translates to the pro game.
