## Early life and high school
Amos attended Catholic High School in New Iberia, Louisiana, where he played a pivotal role on both sides of the ball from 2017 to 2019 as the team made three playoff appearances, including a semifinals run during his senior year[4](https://www.commanders.com/news/trey-amos-five-things-to-know-washington-commanders). He was also a decorated track athlete, winning a 2019 state title with a school-record jump of 22 feet, 10 inches[4](https://www.commanders.com/news/trey-amos-five-things-to-know-washington-commanders).
## College career
**Louisiana.** Amos began his collegiate career at the [University of Louisiana at Lafayette](https://www.edgepedia.org/university-of-louisiana-at-lafayette), spending three seasons there from 2020 to 2022. He was a backup in 2020 and 2021, then started in 2022, recording eight pass breakups, 35 tackles, and a blocked kick[5](https://walterfootball.com/scoutingreports2025tamos.php).
**Alabama.** He transferred to Alabama for the 2023 season and served as a rotational backup, playing fewer than 350 defensive snaps for the Crimson Tide, though he was impressive late in the season when he saw more playing time[5](https://walterfootball.com/scoutingreports2025tamos.php) • [6](https://www.the33rdteam.com/nfl-draft/2025/players/trey-amos/). Team sources raved about his final tape at Alabama, and after the season he entered the transfer portal again[5](https://walterfootball.com/scoutingreports2025tamos.php) • [6](https://www.the33rdteam.com/nfl-draft/2025/players/trey-amos/).
**Ole Miss.** Amos finished his college career at Mississippi in 2024, his fifth season of college play[6](https://www.the33rdteam.com/nfl-draft/2025/players/trey-amos/). In 13 games he recorded 50 tackles, 13 pass breakups, and three interceptions, earning First-Team All-SEC selection[2](https://www.chiefs.com/news/2025-nfl-draft-positional-spotlight-cornerback). [Pro Football Focus](https://www.edgepedia.org/pro-football-focus) had him tied for second-most pass breakups among cornerbacks that season, and he finished his college career with 35[4](https://www.commanders.com/news/trey-amos-five-things-to-know-washington-commanders). He also earned 2024 All-America Second Team recognition[7](https://media.washington.1rmg.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/09155534/Week-15-Weekly-Release.pdf).
## Scouting profile
Amos measured 6-foot-1 and 195 pounds at the draft process, with 31 1/4-inch arms and 9-inch hands[8](https://www.thedraftnetwork.com/2024/12/06/trey-amos-scouting-report-nfl-draft) • [3](https://www.nfl.com/players/trey-amos/). Scouts consistently identified his length and physicality in press-man coverage as his greatest asset: he uses strong punches at the snap to disrupt receivers' releases and, on vertical routes, contests the catch point by fitting his hands through the receiver's[8](https://www.thedraftnetwork.com/2024/12/06/trey-amos-scouting-report-nfl-draft). NFL.com's analysis noted he "can play the ball with his back to the quarterback as well as any cornerback in this draft"[2](https://www.chiefs.com/news/2025-nfl-draft-positional-spotlight-cornerback).
**Speed question answered.** The main pre-draft concern was his top-end speed, and Amos addressed it with an official 4.43-second 40-yard dash at the 2025 [NFL Scouting Combine](https://www.edgepedia.org/nfl-scouting-combine)[2](https://www.chiefs.com/news/2025-nfl-draft-positional-spotlight-cornerback) • [3](https://www.nfl.com/players/trey-amos/).
Evaluators differed on his best scheme fit. The Draft Network judged him best suited for a zone-heavy scheme such as Cover 2 or Cover 3 despite his man-coverage experience[8](https://www.thedraftnetwork.com/2024/12/06/trey-amos-scouting-report-nfl-draft), while Pro Football Focus described an ideal blend of size, movement skills, and coverage scheme versatility, with a CB2 floor and CB1 potential[2](https://www.chiefs.com/news/2025-nfl-draft-positional-spotlight-cornerback). Lance Zierlein of NFL.com compared him to Tarheeb Still and wrote that Amos "proved he could make the jump from the Sun Belt to the SEC without a hitch," while noting he can get lost at the top of routes and needs to ramp up his run support[9](https://www.neworleanssaints.com/news/2025-nfl-draft-cornerback-safety-rankings-travis-hunter-will-johnson-db-scouting-reports-top-10-tuesday). FantasyPros projected him in Round 1 or Round 2 and flagged that he would turn 23 on draft day, slightly older than many peers[10](https://www.fantasypros.com/2025/02/2025-nfl-draft-scouting-report-trey-amos-cb-mississippi/).
## NFL career
The Washington Commanders selected Amos with the No. 61 overall pick in the second round of the 2025 NFL Draft[1](https://www.pro-football-reference.com/players/A/AmosTr00.htm) • [4](https://www.commanders.com/news/trey-amos-five-things-to-know-washington-commanders). Analysts had rated him highly: ESPN's Mel Kiper ranked him among the draft's best cornerbacks, and NFL.com's Daniel Jeremiah had him going in the first round of his final mock draft[4](https://www.commanders.com/news/trey-amos-five-things-to-know-washington-commanders). Washington's research and development department had him in the 96th percentile against highly talented opponents[4](https://www.commanders.com/news/trey-amos-five-things-to-know-washington-commanders).
Amos played 10 games with 8 starts as a rookie in 2025[1](https://www.pro-football-reference.com/players/A/AmosTr00.htm). During training camp, [NFL Network](https://www.edgepedia.org/nfl-network)'s Steve Wyche reported the rookie had been "the talk of camp" and took reps with the starting defense[3](https://www.nfl.com/players/trey-amos/).
In August 2026, the Commanders placed Amos on the injured reserve list with an ankle sprain, ruling him out for at least the first four games of the season[11](https://www.axios.com/local/washington-dc/2026/08/31/commanders-roster-position-groups-weaknesses).
