Ole Miss’ Tre Harris is one of the best receivers in the country. He leads the SEC with 885 yards and a whopping 5.67 yards per route run. He’s been a model of efficiency and explosiveness for the Rebel offense in 2024.
However, he remains questionable entering the top 25 contest vs. LSU on Saturday night.
Harris would be a significant loss for the Ole Miss offense. Harris has 52 catches on 64 targets this year. The Rebels’ next most targeted pass catcher is Antwane Wells with 30. Cayden Lee ranks second in catches, but his total of 18 is well below Harris’ 52.
Without Harris, the bulk of the offensive production would have to go somewhere else. That’s not something you want to be figuring out when facing a top 25 team on the road.
LSU didn’t have an answer for Harris last year as he caught eight passes for 153 yards and a score.
If Harris isn’t on the field, it allows the LSU defense to present a more balanced attack. The secondary doesn’t have to lock in on one guy.
Harris’ status will be unclear until later Saturday afternoon, but if he’s out there, he’s one of the best players on the field.
Ole Miss’ latest injury report featured 11 players, down from the previous total of 18 listed earlier in the week.
