Tre Harris is an incredibly intriguing prospect – one who has grown every single year that he has played football. From a dual-threat quarterback in high school, to posting one reception for Louisiana Tech in his true freshman year, all the way to posting over a thousand yards for Ole Miss in his fifth season and earning All-SEC first-team honors. Harris is an older prospect, but one who has a real chance to shine in the NFL.

Recruitment

Harris began life as a quarterback at Ovey Comeaux High School in Louisiana, where he also played basketball. He played with Malik Nabers, which would have been helpful for any high school QB, but ultimately committed as a wide receiver. He was a two-star prospect and stayed at home, declaring for the Louisiana Tech Bulldogs in the CUSA.

Collegiate Career

Harris played five years in college due to his first season being the Covid-affected college season. His true freshman year was disappointing, but Harris emerged as a starter from 2021 onwards and was named First Team All-Conference USA in 2022 before deciding to enter the transfer portal.

It started with a real bang. In his debut for Ole Miss, Harris had 133 receiving yards against Mercer and four touchdowns. This was a great sign for Harris, showing that he could perform against a higher level of competition than he’d seen at Louisiana Tech. He had six 100+ yard games in 2024, securing Second Team All-American Honors.

Harris finished college with his first 1y,000-yard season, with an elite 128.8 receiving yards per game, and is set up very nicely for the 2025 NFL Draft.

Strengths

Size, speed and strength of a true alpha wide receiver
Ability to high-point throws – basketball background shining through very clearly!
Hands-catcher who can make exceptional catches away from his body
Above average route running for a big-framed receiver
Ability to score TDs, especially in the redzone

Weaknesses

Has displayed a very limited route tree throughout his time in college – although part of this can be down to the Ole Miss system
Does not have the long speed to truly separate as a deep threat
Can sometimes struggle with more physical corners – a small concern given his main trait is physicality

Draft Value

Mock Draft history for Harris courtesy of Mock Draft Database.

Harris is consistently seen as a second-round prospect, although multiple recent mock drafts have seen him go towards the back of the first round, with Fox Sports even mocking him as high as 17th to the Bengals (clearly as a direct Tee Higgins replacement in that scenario). Harris is helped by the weakness of this WR class and the number of WR-needy teams towards the back end of the first and could easily see himself sneak into the late 20s if he can perform well at the Combine and Shrine Bowl.

Every team in the NFL can use a player with Harris’ skill set. A true alpha WR who can win on the boundary can be utilized in any offense, so long as they allow their QB to let their WR challenge in 50/50 situations. At 6’3 210lbs, Harris profiles as a prototypical X. Even just looking at playoff teams, the Commanders, Rams, Packers, Broncos, and Chiefs could all use a WR who can win the way that Harris can.

As discussed in my write-up of presumed WR2 Luther Burden, this class gets very murky after WR2. The current WR3 is presumed to be Emeka Egbuka, but Harris currently slots in as the consensus WR5 after Isaiah Bond. If he secures second-round draft capital, Harris will have an easy chance to contribute early and often, and be one of the more productive rookie WRs in this class – so long as his physical tools stack up against NFL corners.

Dynasty Outlook

DLF’s Consensus Rookie Rankings have Harris as the consensus WR6 and the 11th overall prospect. He will be a very popular selection at the back of the 1st round in rookie drafts. The hope is that he profiles more like DK Metcalf/AJ Brown and less like Jonathan Mingo, the other size/speed WRs who have come out of Ole Miss in the last few years. If he can develop like the first two, even if he may have the limited route tree of a DK Metcalf, he can be a fantastic player early into his career.
