The Chargers selected Mississippi wide receiver Tre Harris in the second round (No. 55 overall pick) in the 2025 NFL Draft on Friday night.
Harris, regarded as a strong prospect in the wide receiver class, is ESPN Jordan Reid's No. 62 overall prospect, while The Athletic's Dane Brugler has him at No. 65.
Brugler offered the following breakdown of Harris:
You know what you're getting on his tape: an outside wide receiver who runs a ton of slants and curls, with a post or crosser mixed in (Ole Miss receivers used post-snap reads). But you still have to stop him, and that was a problem for defenses this season. Though he's not a burner, Harris has the stride speed to be a factor on linear/one-cut routes and displays smooth gear down for clean transitions. The best parts of his game are his hand-eye coordination and finishing toughness to make catches over defensive backs. Overall, Harris doesn't have the explosive speed or separation skills that teams covet in a No. 1 receiver, but he is a controlled athlete with the play strength and ball skills to be a dependable possession target.
The selection of Harris gives the Chargers a dynamic offensive playmaker in the passing game, and another young receiver to pair alongside Ladd McConkey.
The 23-year-old Harris is listed at 6-foot-2 and 205 pounds.
Harris was an Second-Team All-American in 2024 after leading the team in receptions (60), receiving yards (1,030) and ranking second in receiving touchdowns (7).
The receiver finished his MIssissippi career with 2,015 yards and 15 touchdowns on 114 receptions in 20 games, becoming one of two players in SEC history to average 100 yards per game across a career (103.3 per game).
