Breaking down Trey Amos' athletic traits ahead of the 2025 NFL Draft.
Trenayvian “Trey” Amos is a former cornerback for the Ole Miss Rebels, before which he played for the Alabama Crimson Tide and Louisiana Ragin’ Cajuns. ESPN’s Mel Kiper Jr., Field Yates, and NFL Network’s Daniel Jeremiah all project him as a late first-round pick, with the Buffalo Bills #30 pick. Amos is a versatile cornerback experienced in off-coverage, press-bail technique, and press-man schemes. Born on March 3, 2002, Amos graduated from the Catholic High School in 2020 and joined the University of Louisiana at Lafayette.
In his freshman year, Amos played in 10 games, recording 10 solo tackles and one interception. After three seasons at Louisiana, Amos transferred to Alabama in 2023, then played his final year at Ole Miss, where he had his most productive season. In 2024, he recorded 50 tackles (39 solo) for four tackles for loss and three interceptions, earning first-team All-SEC honors. In five college seasons, he totaled 121 tackles (90 solo), eight tackles for loss, and four interceptions.

Amos stands 6 ft 1 in, a good height for a cornerback in today’s NFL. Though a moderately important attribute, height helps him to contest jump balls and disrupt at the catch point.
At 195 pounds, Amos carries a sturdy frame for a cornerback. It gives him enough mass to tackle while maintaining the agility needed to mirror receivers.
Amos has a decent but not elite arm length of 31¼ inches. Longer arms help disrupt and deflect passes, so he is capable of influencing the catch point without drawing flags.

Amos’ 9-inch hands are typical for his position. Hand size helps with grip at the catch point and when going for strips, but it’s not a critical attribute for his performance.
Amos ran a 4.43-second 40-yard dash, placing him in the fast tier for corners. However, if he fails with his jam, he has sufficient but not exceptional recovery speed to work back into the receiver’s frame on vertical routes.
Trey Amos is a legit 6’1”, ran a 4.43, and is an excellent press corner with elite zone instincts.

With a 1.60-second 10-yard split, Amos shows average short-area acceleration. Burst is vital when jumping routes or recovering after a stutter step.
Amos’ 32.5-inch vertical is modest for a cornerback. It’s a critical attribute for cornerbacks to defend jump balls against tall receivers in the red zone. Here Amos may not stand out.
At 10 ft 6 in, Amos shows good horizontal explosiveness. The broad jump reflects hip power and closing burst, which are useful in change-of-direction plays and drive-closing speed.
