Draft Profile: Bio
A former 2-star recruit who bet on himself, Tre Harris has transformed from small-school standout at Louisiana Tech into one of college football's most dominant boundary receivers. Born February 28, 2002, in Lafayette, Louisiana, Harris initially made his mark as a dual-threat quarterback at Comeaux High School before transitioning to receiver at Louisiana Tech. After earning First Team All-Conference USA honors with the Bulldogs, Harris took his talents to Ole Miss and promptly established himself as one of the SEC's premier pass-catchers.The 6'3", 210-pound wideout's meteoric rise continued in 2024, where he terrorized defensive backs en route to Second Team All-American honors. His signature performance came against Georgia Southern, torching them for 225 yards and two scores. Harris proved he could produce against elite competition too, consistently winning against SEC corners while racking up six 100+ yard games. What started as a developmental project at Louisiana Tech blossomed into a legitimate NFL prospect who can win at all three levels.
The numbers tell the story of Harris's evolution - from 562 yards as a sophomore at Louisiana Tech to nearly 1,000 yards in his first SEC season, capped by a monster 2024 campaign that saw him average over 18 yards per catch. His four-touchdown explosion against Mercer announced his arrival, but it was his consistent dominance against SEC competition that truly turned heads. Harris saved his best for last, torching Penn State for 134 yards in the Peach Bowl victory.
Scouting Report: Strengths
- Masterful at the catch point - displays exceptional body control and timing to box out defenders and high-point throws like a power forward snagging rebounds
- Natural hands-catcher who plucks the ball away from his frame with vice-grip mitts, rarely allowing it into his body even in traffic
- Elite ball tracker on deep routes who feels defenders and adjusts his path without losing speed, making him deadly on go routes and posts
- Physical monster in the red zone who understands how to use his frame to wall off defenders, giving his QB a massive catch radius
- Shows savvy in his stems and breaks, particularly on in-breaking routes where he sets up defenders with subtle head-and-shoulder fakes
- Excellent field awareness - consistently finds soft spots against zone coverage and works back to the ball when his QB is under pressure
- Brings a dog mentality to the blocking game, showing consistent effort and physicality even when he's not the primary target
- Clutch performer who elevates his game in big moments - see his 153-yard explosion against LSU and Peach Bowl heroics versus Penn State
Scouting Report: Weaknesses
- Acceleration off the line lacks explosiveness, sometimes struggling to beat press coverage cleanly against longer, physical corners
- Route tree remains somewhat limited - relies heavily on vertical stems and could add more nuance to his intermediate breaks
- Can round off his cuts at times, particularly on comeback routes where sharper breaks would create more separation
- Play speed is not elite - builds to his top gear rather than showing instant burst to threaten corners vertically
- Contact balance could improve - sometimes gets knocked off his path by physical coverage mid-route, disrupting timing with his QB
Scouting Report: Summary
The film shows a boundary receiver with true X potential who can step into an NFL offense and win immediately on third downs and in the red zone. Harris's ability to consistently make contested catches and work all three levels of the field will make him a quarterback's best friend, particularly in offenses that emphasize play-action and vertical shots.His best fit will be with teams that deploy traditional X receivers and aren't afraid to give their wideouts chances on 50/50 balls. Think Baltimore, Kansas City, or Green Bay - offenses that will leverage his catch radius and physicality while continuing to develop his route-running nuance. Harris projects as a day-one contributor who could develop into a legitimate WR2 by year two.
While he may not threaten the 4.3 guys in a footrace, Harris's combination of size, strong hands, and competitive toughness will make him a reliable chain-mover and red-zone weapon at the next level. He's shown consistent improvement each year and has the work ethic and mentality to continue that trajectory in the NFL.

*Percentile Ranking in Player's Position Group (NFL Combine Historical Data): This percentile reflects how a player's specific statistics rank
in comparison to historical performances at the NFL Combine, specifically within their position group. A higher percentile indicates a better performance.
For instance, being in the 90th percentile for a particular stat means the player outperformed 90% of their peers in that category.
*Similarity Percentage: This percentage is calculated based on a comprehensive analysis of various factors, including height, weight, 40-yard dash times, on-field performance statistics, and overall player rating. The analysis is conducted against our database of draft prospects from 2021 to 2023. This similarity score helps in evaluating how closely a current prospect aligns with past prospects. It is important to note, however, that this score reflects similarities based on college production and attributes, and does not account for eventual success or performance in the NFL.
