Elijah Sarratt caught 53 passes for 957 yards and eight touchdowns in 2024 and was the main target all year for 2nd team B1G quarterback Kurtis Rourke.
You'll be hard pressed to find too many wide receiver duo's in the Big Ten Conference better than Sarratt and Cooper Jr. Their big play ability down field and elite route running makes them top five as a duo in the Big Ten to me in 2025.
