Surratt was one of three Wake Forest players named All-ACC first-team for the 2019 season. He tallied 66 catches with 1,001 receiving yards and 11 touchdown grabs even though his final collegiate campaign ended prematurely due to a right shoulder injury.

Per the official site of Demon Deacon Athletics, Surratt led the conference with 111.2 receiving yards per game in nine contests.

In May, Seth Steere of With the First Pick named Surratt the ninth-best receiver of the 2021 class and placed a second-round grade on the 22-year-old.
