Sarratt is a tall, rugged pass catcher who separates from defenders and catches everything in his zip code. A transfer to Indiana in 2024 after stops at St. Francis and James Madison, he was highly productive in all four of his college seasons and proved to be one of the most clutch players in the country for the Hoosiers in 2025, catching an FBS-best 15 touchdowns. Sarratt shows the quickness and strength to get off the line of scrimmage and win early in his route, and he builds up speed to create big plays down the field. He’s a savvy route runner who can sink his hips and change direction on short and intermediate routes. He plays with excellent body control and wins at the catch point, creating separation right as the ball arrives while he twists, turns, and elevates to reel in the pass. He has sticky hands and a career drop rate of just 3.6 percent, per PFF. He shows a good feel for positioning and spacing against zone looks, settling into space to give his quarterback an open target. He works hard to get open on scramble drills. He’s very aware of the sideline and gets his feet down to complete the catch on out routes. He’s a tough runner after the catch, looking to get downfield quickly without breaking his stride.
Sarratt lacks elite speed and burst. He won’t easily run away from pro corners. He struggles at times to shake tight coverage and ends up in a lot of contested-catch situations. He has good height but short arms. He works hard at run blocking but doesn’t always sustain his blocks.
