Offensive Skillset (WR)
Tre Ofahengaue may be young, but he’s already showing flashes of being a natural playmaker at wide receiver. His quick-twitch burst stands out immediately. Despite being undersized, he creates instant separation at the line of scrimmage and has the ability to cut on a dime, leaving defenders lunging at air. As a slot receiver, Tre thrives in space — he runs crisp routes, breaks defenders off with sudden movements, and consistently presents himself as a reliable target.
His soft hands are advanced for his age. He catches the ball cleanly and confidently, rarely letting it hit his chest. Beyond the short and intermediate game, Tre has shown he can get behind the defense for the deep seam catch, proving he’s more than just a possession receiver. The combination of acceleration and ball-tracking ability makes him dangerous on any play-action or vertical concept.

Defensive Skillset (CB)
On defense, Tre brings that same competitiveness to the cornerback position. His reps in flag and 7v7 football have sharpened his instincts, giving him valuable live experience in one-on-one coverage. He mirrors wide receivers with fluid hips, breaks quickly on the ball, and shows a natural understanding of leverage. His willingness to compete on every snap, regardless of size, speaks volumes about his mentality.
Tre plays bigger than his frame, relying on his quick feet, agility, and anticipation. He doesn’t shy away from physicality and positions himself well to make plays on the ball. Over time, as he grows and adds strength, his ability to press and challenge receivers will only improve.

Intangibles
What separates Tre is his competitive fire and passion for the game. Even with limited footage, it’s clear he loves football — his energy, effort, and body language reflect a young athlete determined to get better every rep. His Instagram handle “@treloves2work” isn’t just a name, it’s a mindset. That work ethic will be the difference-maker as he transitions from being one of the quickest kids on the field to one of the most skilled all-around athletes in his class.

Projection
Tre Ofahengaue has the early makings of a dynamic two-way athlete with the versatility to impact games on both sides of the ball. His natural quickness, polished hands, and competitive edge suggest he’ll become a high-level slot receiver, while his footwork and instincts give him real potential as a lock-down corner.
Utah may not always get the spotlight in youth football, but Tre is a player who could change that narrative. As he continues to grow physically and sharpen his craft, expect his name to surface as one of the top emerging athletes in the Class of 2035.
