Summary
Elijah Sarratt has good body control to win at the catch point down the field but lacks the ideal top-end speed and explosion to consistently create separation. He projects as a complementary piece in the passing game or depth depending on the situation.
About
- 2025: Led FBS with 15 receiving TD
- 2023-25: Led FBS with 31 receiving TD
Strengths
- Does a good job not tipping route breaks with his eyes or body movements.
- Polished route runner who throttles down well on comebacks and flattens across the field.
- Reliable hands with a 3.4% drop rate in 2025, per TruMedia.
Weaknesses
- Lacks vertical, field-stretching top-end speed.
- Catch radius does not appear as large as his frame might suggest, possibly due to limited wingspan.
- Limited slot experience (just over 10% of snaps the past three seasons, per TruMedia), raising questions about versatility.
