He's known for making contested catches.

"If the ball is in the air, it's mine," Sarratt said in his press conference with media after the pick.

"I always feel like I'm open."

Last season, Sarratt was second-team All-Big Ten and led the FBS with 15 receiving TDs.

He started all but two games due to injury.

In 2024, he was third-team All-Big Ten Conference with 53 catches, 957 receiving yards, and 8 receiving TD's.

Sarratt is familiar with Charm City, as he is also a former St. Frances Panther.

At the Baltimore high school powerhouse, he was Freshman All-American, first-team All-Northeast Conference, tied for 5th in the FCS, and tied the school record with 13 receiving TDs.
