In the early stages of the 2022-2023 transfer portal, one thing became abundantly clear. The Oklahoma Sooners were looking to add a wide receiver with bonafide production at the collegiate level.
With several offers out there, it looks like Oklahoma has zeroed in on Louisiana Tech transfer wide receiver Tre Harris. Brandon Drumm of OUInsider at 247Sports issued a crystal ball on Tuesday projecting Harris to the Oklahoma Sooners.
Harris, a former high school quarterback, is 6-foot-2 and weighs just over 200 pounds. Over the last two seasons with the Bulldogs, Harris has averaged more than 14 yards per reception and scored 14 touchdowns, including 10 in 2022.
In 2022, the former three-star wide receiver caught 65 passes for 935 yards and those 10 touchdowns.
Harris was primarily an outside receiver for Lousiana Tech and did most of his damage from 0-20 yards down the field. According to Pro Football Focus, Harris caught 43 of 72 targets in the short to the intermediate passing game for 541 yards and seven touchdowns. He had some success down the field as well, catching 9 of 18 targets 20+ yards down the field for 311 yards and two touchdowns.
He did get some action at or behind the line of scrimmage, catching all 12 of his targets for 73 yards and a touchdown. Harris led La Tech in first-down receptions and was ninth in Conference USA with 37.
An All-Conference USA first-team selection, Harris was sixth in the conference in yards and tied for third in touchdowns.
Harris would be a strong addition to the Oklahoma Sooners’ wide receiver room whether Marvin Mims returns or not. His size and presence would give Dillon Gabriel and Jeff Lebby a guy that can help move the chains on offense, something they struggled to do with any consistency in 2022.
Tre Harris has two more years of eligibility but would be an immediate difference-maker for the Sooners in 2023.
