Wide receiver Tre Harris spent three years at Louisiana Tech and transferred to Ole Miss in 2023 knowing he’d have two years of eligibility at the program — a decision that worked in his favor.
Harris played well enough vs. Conference USA competition to earn a four-star grade in the transfer protocol, largely because he capped off his time with Louisiana Tech as a member of the first-team all-conference squad.
Height: 6-foot-2
Weight: 205 pounds
40 time: 4.54 seconds
His two full seasons before transferring saw him find the end zone 14 times over 105 catches, and Harris maintained a high rate of scoring in relation to receptions secured against tougher competition.
Harris led the Rebels in aerial yardage during his first season at Ole Miss, and he followed it up with Second-Team Associated Press All-American and Third-Team All-SEC recognition — all in a campaign in which he missed five games.
Table: WR Tre Harris, Ole Miss (2020-24)
*includes postseason/bowl games (stats from Sports Reference)
Pros
- Physical perimeter receiver who brings a vertical element to any offensive system
- Dangerous around the line of scrimmage on manufactured touches
- Untapped potential with NFL-caliber coaching
- Extends, catches away from the body, and tracks well enough over the shoulder
- Knows how to use pacing variation to make up for a lack of twitchiness and raw speed
- Attacks the ball and uses above-average body control to his advantage
- Fights through weak tackle attempts and is routinely drags defenders for a few extra yards
- Prototypical height-weight combo and wingspan at 78 1/4 inches
- Potential to develop into a better blocker

Cons
- Physical, long corners can derail him at the line in press coverage
- Durability concerns after suffering injuries in consecutive seasons
- Average timed speed– in fairness, he does play faster than he times, but it’s a build-up stride defenders can account for with proper game planning
- Likely limited to playing only on the outside in the NFL
- Lacks experience running intermediate routes — most of his targets came in the first and third levels of the tree
- Already being 23 years old means he won’t have as long of a runway to slowly learn
Fantasy football outlook
Harris is a mostly one-dimensional player for now. That won’t deter teams in an ever-compartmentalizing NFL from investing draft capital in the neighborhood of a probable Round 4 pick with a chance to sneak into the third.
In his first year, he probably will find himself used almost exclusively as a deep-ball threat, and that alone limits his fantasy appeal to the level of an intentional flier off the wire or DFS play. Given his age and ability to pick up the Ole Miss offense rather quickly in 2023, it’s not out of line to think Harris can develop into a competent NFL WR2 as a sophomore in 2026. In that case, there’s weekly fantasy appeal down the road.
