Indiana Hoosiers wide receiver Elijah Sarratt, was recently ranked No. 6 overall on the "Top 10 Big Ten Offensive Players for 2025" by Christopher Sheppard of the Nittany Lions Wire.

6. Elijah Sarratt, Indiana

"The only player from a non-traditional blue blood program, Sarratt now must carry the torch for Indiana after one of the most successful seasons in program history. Coming from JMU alongside coach Curt Cignetti, Sarratt is one of the only returners from that transfer class offensively and thus must be a leader both on and off the field. His 957 yards and 8 touchdowns are sure to increase if Cal transfer Fernando Mendoza relies on him as he transitions into this offense. If there's any one player to keep your eye on this season outside of the traditional conference powerhouses, it's Sarratt." wrote Sheppard

Ahead of Curt Cignetti’s second season, Indiana receiver Elijah Sarrat is getting a lot of attention, but Omar Cooper Jr is also a name to watch for Indiana this season. He averaged 21.2 yards per catch in 2024 with 28 receptions and seven touchdowns. Pro Football Focus has him grading out a little lower than some of the others on this list, but at 77.9 he’s still getting high marks on that front, too.

Elijah Sarratt caught 53 passes for 957 yards and eight touchdowns in 2024. The 6-foot-2 and 209-pound Sarratt was name to the Biletnikoff Award watch list last season.
