Scouting Report
Trez Davis is a 4-star Wide Receiver from West Monroe, LA (West Monroe) in the 2026 class. Ranked No. 271 nationally. Composite rating: 0.9098. Uncommitted.
Physical Profile
Listed at 6-0, 180 lbs. Taller than 26% and heavier than 41% of 2026 Wide Receiver prospects in the SEC Scouts database (329 with a listed size).
Play Style
A vertical, explosive-play receiver who wins with speed off the line and acceleration on go routes, posts and deep overs. His yards-per-catch profile suggests he stretches the defense and creates chunk plays rather than piling up short catches. His jumping background points to a good ability to high-point the ball and track it downfield.
Strengths
- Big-play production: 53 catches for about 1,000 yards (sources say 998 or 1,008) and 8 TDs as a junior at 18.8-19.0 yards per catch, then 22.92 yards per catch as a senior. That is the profile of a true field-stretcher, not a volume underneath target.
- Proven explosiveness: a 48-11 triple jump plus 4.5 speed means his burst holds up against faster defensive backs, not just high school competition.
- Toughness: he produced his senior-year per-catch average while playing through a significant wrist injury.
- Tested competition: West Monroe is a traditional Louisiana 5A power, and he produced on a team that reached the state quarterfinals.
Areas to Improve
- Play strength and mass: at 180-185 lb he has to get stronger to beat press coverage and win contested catches against Big Ten corners.
- Route variety: production built on 20+ yards per catch points to a vertical-heavy role. He needs to show he can separate on intermediate breaks (digs, comebacks, option routes) to become an every-down receiver.
- Durability and hands: the senior-year wrist injury should be checked medically, and hand strength through contact is the question to answer on tape.
College Projection
He is on Washington's 2026 roster. Expect a first-year role as a rotational deep threat and possibly a special-teams contributor or returner, with the redshirt rules letting him play up to four games while he adds weight. A realistic path is a starting-caliber role as a redshirt sophomore (2028) once he is around 195 lb and has a fuller route tree.
NFL Outlook
Day 3 upside if he develops. Deep speed backed by track results is a trait the NFL values, but he will need to test well (4.4-range 40, strong jumps) and show he can separate across the route tree at around 195 lb. As a mid-level 4-star he is more likely a developmental draft candidate than a sure one.
Best Fit
A spread, vertical passing offense that uses outside receivers on isolation shots and play-action deep balls, with a strength program that can add mass over two years. Washington's pro-style spread with a vertical passing game fits well. A slot/flanker role with free releases would protect him from press while he builds strength.
Player Comparison
Brandin Cooks shares a remarkably similar recruiting profile to the prospect, rated as a 4-star receiver and ranked #240 overall in his class. Both players are explosive vertical threats with verified track speed, consistently winning deep downfield. Cooks, standing at 5'10" and 189 lbs, has a comparable physical build and has built a long, successful NFL career on the very traits described in the prospect's profile: getting behind defenses, tracking the ball well, and making big plays.
