The Los Angeles Chargers Select Ole Miss WR Tre Harris in Second Round of 2025 NFL Draft

GREEN BAY, Wis. — Ole Miss wide receiver Tre Harris was selected by the Los Angeles Chargers, 55th overall, in the second round of the 2025 NFL Draft Friday. The senior from Lafayette, La. was Ole Miss’ top target in the passing attack, tallying 60 catches for 1,030 yards and 7 touchdowns.

Harris began his career at Louisiana Tech, before transferring to Ole Miss in 2023. At 6-foot-3, 210-pounds, he can do it all. He’s a strong route-runner who owns excellent hands — potentially the best in the draft. He excels at 50-50 balls, usually defeating the defensive back he’s facing.

Collegiate Career

Harris finished his Ole Miss career with 2,015 yards and 15 touchdowns receiving on 114 receptions in 20 total games played and 19 starts. He averaged 100.8 yards per game, 17.7 yards per catch and 5.7 receptions per game as a Rebel.

One of just two players in SEC history to average 100 yards per game across a career, alongside Florida’s Jabar Gaffney (103.3), Harris ended his Ole Miss career tied for second in 200-yard receiving games (2), fourth in 100-yard receiving games (10), tied for eighth in receiving touchdowns (15), 11th in receiving yards (2,015) and tied for 21st in receptions (114).

Harris is one of 11 receivers in Ole Miss history to break the 2,000-yard mark across a career. Combined with his time at Louisiana Tech, the sure-handed receiver ended with a total career receiving line of 220 catches for 3,532 yards and 29 TD in 51 games played and 40 starts.

NFL Combine

At the Combine, Harris displayed excellent body control and ball tracking. His impressive vertical jump reflects his basketball background. He is excellent at playing above the rim and making some jaw-dropping one-handed catches.

NFL Future

Harris will be a strong receiver for the Chargers. He can stem his routes to force cornerbacks to open their hips before he sharply breaks in the opposite direction. Harris uses head and shoulder fakes to break down defenders before snapping his route off at the stem’s peak. He runs the stutter-go better than most wide receivers in the class. Unlike many tall receivers, he separates on comebacks and curls by quickly gathering himself and decelerating to turn.

Congratulations to Tre!
