BLOOMINGTON, Ind. – Honoring college football's outstanding FBS receiver, the Tallahassee Quarterback Club announced its preseason watch list and Indiana wide receiver Elijah Sarratt is among the preseason watch list for the Biletnikoff Award.
An all-conference performer in each of his three collegiate seasons, Sarratt was a third-team All-Big Ten pick in 2024 after he ranked top-40 nationally in receiving touchdowns (No. 36; 8) and receiving yards (No. 35; 957), with both totals top-10 in program history. He graded as the No. 4 receiver in the Big Ten and No. 13 in Power 4 (80.8) per Pro Football Focus (min. 500 snaps) and set an IU record for yards receiving in the Old Oaken Bucket win over Purdue (165 yards).
The Biletnikoff Award annually recognizes the college football season's outstanding FBS receiver. Any player, regardless of position (wide receiver, tight end, slot back, and running back) who catches a pass is eligible for the award. It's namesake, Fred Biletnikoff, is a member of the pro and college football halls of fame, and was a consensus 1st-team All-America receiver at Florida State University and an All-Pro receiver for the Oakland Raiders. He caught 589 passes for 8,974 yards and 76 touchdowns in his 14-year Raiders career from 1965 through 1978. Fred was the Most Valuable Player of Super Bowl XI.
