Elijah Sarratt is putting together another productive season in 2025 with the Indiana Hoosiers.<\/p>\n

The 6-foot-2 receiver from Virginia has tallied over eight touchdowns in each of his four seasons in college football, and has posted 14 touchdowns for Indiana this season.<\/p>\n

Sarratt is continuing his stellar play in Indiana’s College Football Playoff Semi-Final game versus the Oregon Ducks, hauling in four receptions for 48 yards and a touchdown in the first half.<\/p>\n

With Sarratt dominating in 2025, the NFL is the next chapter for the Indiana wideout. FanSided’s\u00a0Tarringo Basile-Vaughan<\/a> predicts Sarratt will land with the Arizona Cardinals<\/a> in the second round of April’s draft.<\/p>\n

Here are\u00a0Basile-Vaughan’s thoughts on Sarratt as a prospect at the next level:<\/p>\n

“At 6-foot-2, 209 pounds, Sarratt has strong hands and is an outstanding route-runner who plays with physicality. \u00a0He\u2019s not the explosive receiver the Cardinals are looking for, but he is reliable and has no problem putting his body on the line as a blocker down the field.”<\/p>\n

The Cardinals could use another receiver in the offense to pair with Marvin Harrison, Michael Wilson, and star tight end Trey McBride. Adding Sarratt to serve as a red-zone and jump-ball threat would be an electric move from general manager\u00a0Monti Ossenfort.<\/p>\n

Arizona’s quarterback situation will be a major question mark this offseason, as Kyler Murray is coming off an injury-riddled. Whether it’s Murray or someone else under center, selecting Sarratt would greatly help the Cardinals’ signal-caller, as his\u00a0ability to make tightly contested catches makes him a quarterback’s best friend.<\/p>\n

Sarratt should be high on many teams’ draft boards, including the Cardinals, who have the potential to field a potent offense in 2026.<\/p>\n
