All-Sun Belt Wide Receiver Elijah Sarratt Transfers From James Madison to Indiana

Indiana picked up a big transfer portal commitment Thursday night, landing wide receiver Elijah Sarratt.

At 6-foot-2, Sarratt earned All-Sun Belt first team honors at James Madison, playing for current Indiana head coach Curt Cignetti and offensive coordinator Mike Shanahan. 

In 2023, Sarratt hauled in 82 receptions for 1,191 yards and eight touchdowns. He received the fourth-highest offensive grade in the FBS by Pro Football Focus (PFF), one spot ahead of Ohio State's Marvin Harrison Jr. PFF also gave Sarratt a 90.3 receiving grade, which ranked fifth in the nation.

Sarratt played his freshman season at St. Francis in Pennsylvania in 2022. He aught 42 passes for 700 yards and 14 touchdowns. Sarratt joins the Hoosiers with two years of remaining eligibility. 

With this addition, Indiana's wide receiver room is shaping up to be one of the better groups in the Big Ten.
