Los Angeles Chargers Wide receiver Tre Harris had quite the year in his last season at Ole Miss. In 2024, according to Pro Football Focus (PFF), when looking at the regular season, he had career highs in reception percentage (78.9%), receiving yards (1,030), yards after catch (462), yards after catch per reception (7.7), and yards per route run (5.12).
Harris also smashed the combine with a top 10 combine grade out of the wide receivers. He was deemed as “eventually being a plus starter” and though, as noted by Lance Zierlein, there were some injury concerns, and he didn’t quite have the contested catch stats that typically accompany someone with his physical traits, he relayed that Harris is “fast enough to win over the top and talented with the ball in his hands to stretch short throws into longer yardage.”
Besides wide receiver Ladd McConkey, who I still believe will be the Chargers’ number one receiver this year, the Chargers need an additional speed threat but also someone with that contested catch ability.

Without wide receiver Keenan Allen, if he’s not able to re-sign with the team, Harris should see more action and possibly be on track to repeat or exceed some of those stats from his final year at Ole Miss.
Tre Harris With Chargers In 2025
After being drafted in the second round, Harris had a productive 2025 with double digits in the regular and postseason in receptions (32), triple digits in receiving yards (344), one receiving touchdown, and six contested catches, with a reception percentage of 69.6%. Harris also had a handful of starts, including in the Wild Card game against the Patriots.
There were the plays that started small, like against the Texans in Week 17, where Harris managed to gain quite a few yards each time he had possession. In the first quarter, Harris got the ball after a fake handoff to running back Omarion Hampton and got the first down. Then there was the toss to Harris in the second quarter, where he went from the right side to the left and got seven yards to get inside the 10.
Then there were the big plays, like the 14-yard gain in the first quarter against the Patriots, the 37-yard gain against the Chiefs in Week 15, and the 16-yard gain during Week 13 against the Raiders. His speed and ability to extend plays were all on display with these highlights. And with a decent completion percentage and only one drop, he showed that he’s a reliable target.
Predicting Harris In 2026
Despite the drafting of Hampton last year, I wrote that Harris was going to be the Chargers best draft pick of 2025, especially with the Mike Williams’ size hole that was left on the roster. And while Harris still has work to do when it comes to run-blocking and special teams, and technically tight end Oronde Gadsden II made the most impact on the receiving side of all the rookies in 2025, Harris is well on his way.
He’s already been showing off during mandatory minicamp, as on day three Omar Navarro of Chargers.com noted in the seven-on-seven period that Harris “worked his way over the middle for a catch and run for over 15 yards on the first rep of the practice.”
With the focus on getting the ball off as quickly as possible and getting receivers going, this may be Harris’ year. Though he’ll certainly be more in the number two wide receiver boat as his draft analysis dictated, if he can work on blocking and becoming more of a deep threat, he’ll be critical for Herbert in 2026.
