Tre Harris scores three TDs in first 3:15 of game, ties Ole Miss record
In just three minutes and 15 seconds, new Ole Miss wide receiver Tre Harris made Rebel history.
It would be impossible to have a better start to the season than Harris, who just scored three touchdowns on Ole Miss’ first three possessions of the season in the opener against Mercer. Here’s the crazy part: he needed just 3:15 of game time to do it.
Three touchdowns in one game already ties the Ole Miss record for receiving touchdowns by one player in a single game, and there’s still 95% of this contest still to go.
Take a look at these incredible grabs below. On the last one especially, Harris makes an incredible couple of juke moves to get into the end zone.
Harris is a believer in his ability.

You can tell when asked what style receiver he is.
“I consider myself a dominant receiver, a receiver who thrives on the one-on-one coverage and a smart player. I’m going to do my best every snap, blocking or receiving and try my best to be dominant,” he said recently. “I want to be one of those guys who’s considered a top receiver in the country.
“My goal is for us to beat the best teams in the country and for me to be a big part of that.”
Harris said there is also a big benefit at Ole Miss for all the coaches to be mental health certified.
“That’s huge. We are able to talk to our coaches. We don’t shy away from telling them the way we feel. They know that some days you are going to have off days, not every day is going to go your way, and it’s good to know someone is there to pick you up when that happens,” said Tre.
Harris is one of Ole Miss’ old heads. Naturally, then, he was asked about Ayden Williams. Williams is entering his true freshman Ole Miss season as one of the team’s top rookies. He’s a former top recruit in the 2023 class..
“He’s a dog, man. I’m not joking. He’s got that #1 jersey for a reason, man,” Tre stated. “He deserves it and he is going to show people why he’s wearing it and I can promise you in coming years he is going to that guy.”
Harris enjoys that the Rebel offense has more of a vertical passing game than the Air Raid offenses, similar to Malik Heath coming to Ole Miss from Mississippi State’s Air Raid from last season.
“Coach (Lane) Kiffin says ‘score from far,’” he smiled. “Every receiver wants to score from a long way. No matter where a receiver plays, he wants to score from far and I know I can do that here. It was a selling point, for sure.”
