DRAFT PROFILE: BIO
Tyler Harrell from Christopher Columbus High School was rated a 80-star prospect by ESPN with a scout's rating of 80. After high school, Harrell opted to join Louisville.
In 2018 as a freshman Harrell saw action in just 3 games for the Cardinals as he made 2 receptions for just 36 yards for an average of 18.0 yards per reception, with no TDs, and a solid QB rating when targeted of 81.3.
As a sophomore in 2019 he played just 2 games and had a solid 18 catches for 525 yards for an average of 29.2 yards per catch, with 6 TDs, and an outstanding QB rating when targeted of 123.8.
As a junior in 2020 he played just 3 games and hauled in just 2 catches for just 18 yards for an average of 9.0 yards per catch, with no TDs, and an excellent QB rating when targeted of 104.2.
SCOUTING REPORT: STRENGTHS
- He’s a fluid athlete with excellent short-area quickness; Harrell should be able to create separation, and he has the straight-line speed to threaten down the seam.
- He’s at his best working in space, showing the quickness and vision of a return specialist. His stop-start ability allows him to create initial separation.
- Made Bruce Feldman's Freak's List - ranked #43. He wrote, "...big-play potential isn’t shocking when you consider just how fast the 6-0, 195-pounder is. At U of L, he was consistently hitting 24 mph on the GPS and had a 10-yard split of 1.41. His former coach there, Scott Satterfield, told The Athletic that Harrell is the fastest guy he’s ever timed and had him on his stopwatch at a 4.19 in the 40; he did 4.24 on the laser."
- Keeps his feet active and eyes up to dodge traffic quickly and easily. Has excellent straight-line speed to be a breakaway threat at any level. Will initiate contact and runs through high tackle attempts but isn't overall a powerful player.
- Shows quickness off the snap to shake off corners and create room. Separates with hesitation moves and nice acceleration.
- Does a nice job locating and tracking deep passes and is a legitimate vertical threat. Willing to go up and attack the ball.
SCOUTING REPORT: WEAKNESSES/// (NOTE: AFTER WATCHING HIS TAPE @ LOUISVILLE I DISAGREE WITH WHOEVER WROTE THIS) * = BULLSH**!
- Harrell isn’t going to overwhelm opposing defensive backs with speed and athleticism.*
- He doesn’t have the ability as a run blocker or the violent run-after-catch ability. He does have the violent run - after - the catch ability, watch his tape, that's what a 4.2 is for *
- He’s not physically imposing. Harrell is small-framed and won’t be able to carry much more weight. * ( Catching the ball with his speed has nothing to do with being physically imposing )
- His ability to track the ball is good enough, but Harrell too often let the ball get into his body downfield rather than snatching it with his hands. * ( I WATCHED HIM MAKE SEVERAL CATCHES WITH HIS HANDS I'D SAY ALL OF THEM AND DIFFICULT ONES AT THAT)

Nick Saban says Tyler Harrell's speed could benefit Alabama's offense

BIRMINGHAM, Ala. — For the first time this season, Tyler Harrell got his first taste of SEC football against Mississippi State.
On Saturday, Harrell caught one pass for 12 yards in his six offensive snaps. It was the Louisville transfer's first catch since December 2021 when he hauled in four receptions for 80 yards and a touchdown against Air Force.
"Well it's unfortunate that guy missed a lot of time because of an injury, but he's making progress," Nick Saban said during his media availability at The Quarterback Club in Birmingham. "He does offer something with his speed and it's always something that can benefit you on offense."
Harrell transferred to Alabama in April. The 6-foot, 194-pound receiver has been clocked with a sub-4.3 time in the 40-yard dash. Last season he led Louisville averaging 29.06 yards per catch while recording 523 yards and a team-high six touchdowns through the air.
During fall camp, Harrell suffered a sprained foot that limited his reps in practice and held him out of the first few games of the season. As the season progressed, he warmed up with the team during home games and made his first road trip with Alabama, traveling to Tennessee on Oct. 15.
The road trip prompted further questions about his health and when the team could see him make an impact.
"He’s been practicing and he actually was available for the last game," Saban said prior to Saturday's game against the Bulldogs. "He’s getting more and more reps, more and more comfortable with what he’s doing. And there’s the possibility he’s getting to the point where we can get to use him some."
With Harrell making an impact, Saban said he hopes the senior wideout can continue to develop as a deep threat for Alabama's offense.
"We want him to continue to improve," Saban said, "and hopefully we create roles that will be effective for both him and for us."
