One of the best receivers in college football last year is now heading to the NFL. Ole Miss wideout Tre Harris heard his name called on the second day of the 2025 NFL Draft.

Harris was selected by the Los Angeles Chargers in the second round as the 55th overall pick. He is the second player on the Rebels offense to be drafted behind quarterback Jaxson Dart who was selected by the New York Giants.

Harris is the third Ole Miss player overall to be selected in this year’s draft. Walter Nolen was taken by the Arizona Cardinals as the 16th overall pick.

Transferring to Ole Miss ahead of the 2023 season after three seasons at Louisiana Tech Harris finished Rebels career with 114 catches for 2,015 receiving yards and 15 touchdowns in 20 games played, starting in 19 of them.

Harris is one of two players in Southeastern Conference history to average 100 yards per game (110.8) across a career. Former Florida receiver Jabar Gaffney the other (103.3).

A top NFL Draft prospect at the start of the 2024 season Harris was once again plagued by injuries that saw him miss five of the last six games of the year, including the Gator Bowl in Jacksonville.

“Size/speed wideout who returned to school in 2024 and improved his game heading into this year’s draft,” NFL analyst Lance Zierlen said of Harris. “He’s primarily a first- and third-level target, mixing a barrage of hitches and slants with go routes and posts. He’s fast enough to win over the top and talented with the ball in his hands to stretch short throws into longer yardage. His route-running and contested-catch success both took an upturn but they still need work at the pro level. …Harris might be capable of expanding his route tree a bit, but he looks locked in as an “X” receiver with big-game potential and a future home as a WR2.”
