Ole Miss football receiver Tre Harris will not start against Arkansas

FAYETTEVILLE, Arkansas – Ole Miss football has taken the field without its biggest threat.

Tre Harris did not start for the Rebels against Arkansas on Saturday. The senior receiver was questionable to play all week with a lower-body injury and wore a pre-game decision tag at kickoff.

No. 18 Ole Miss (6-2, 2-2 SEC) has struggled in recent history at Arkansas (5-3, 3-2). The Rebels are 2-8 in Fayetteville since 2002. Getting Harris back, even at limited capacity, would have been a big boost. Harris is No. 2 in the country with 987 receiving yards.

When Harris is not on the field, his absence places an additional burden on other Ole Miss pass catchers. Tight end Caden Prieskorn played well against Oklahoma last week, catching a season-high five passes for 71 yards and a touchdown.

Prieskorn led Ole Miss in receiving yards last week when Harris was out. Senior receiver Jordan Watkins and sophomore Cayden Lee also featured prominently while Harris was away. Both Watkins and Lee caught four passes for 59 yards.
