Film Analysis:
Tre Harris burst onto the scene as one of the best receivers in the SEC during the 2023 season, working as a key piece of a high-powered Lane Kiffin offense after transferring from Louisiana Tech. Harris, at 6-foot-2 and 210 pounds, gained a reputation for being a physically dominant receiver at the catch point and a reliable target for Jaxson Dart to go up and get the 50/50 ball. Harris has key traits as a receiver that are translatable to the NFL.
Starting pre-snap, Harris is a multiple-alignment player with the ability to align on the outside and in the slot. In the slot, Harris has a tempoed release. He works to find vacant openings in the defense and makes himself available for his quarterback. When aligned as an outside receiver facing press, Harris opts to utilize his strength and power and try to dominate at the line of scrimmage. Harris has the strength to run through press and continues to work upfield to continue his route.
As a route-runner Harris is not a separator but profiles more of a player who works to get proper positioning and leverage on a defensive back to make himself available to the quarterback. Harris boxes out defenders, shielding them from having an opportunity to make a play on the ball, and can successfully bring in the pass. As Harris works vertically into the deep portions of the field, he does a good job of tracking the football and aggressively attacks the ball in the air.
Harris has the concentration and explosiveness to go up and over defenders and catch the ball at its highest point. Harris is consistent in the process of making contested catches and is a player who is categorized as open even when covered down the field. Harris is comfortable in high-traffic areas and has a skill set that he can potentially utilize as a power slot/big tight end to work the middle of the field in high-contact situations.
The area of concern for Harris is his ability to consistently separate from defenders. As of now, Harris’ highlight plays are usually made in contested catch situations and are mostly due to his inability to create separation from defenders vertically up the field. In terms of ability to accelerate and down-the-field speed, Harris' athleticism appears to be average—there are frequent occurrences where Harris will fail to separate. As of now, Harris has to rely on his ability to play through contact and in highly contested situations to make plays.
Overall, Harris profiles to be a possession receiver who uses his frame to box out defenders and make plays in all areas of the field.
