Star JMU wide receiver expected to visit Indiana football this week

The Indiana football program is expected to host one of the top non-power five transfers this week in former James Madison wide receiver Elijah Sarratt.

According to 247Sports National Reporter Matt Zenitz, Sarratt is expected to visit South Carolina and then Indiana this week.

Sarratt is coming off of a terrific season with the Dukes. He finished 2023 with 82 receptions for 1,191 yards and eight touchdowns. He had six 100+ yard games with four in a row to end the season.

The 6-foot-2 and 207-pound wideout averaged 14.5 yards per reception and caught 82.8 percent of his targets (82-of-99). He had an overall grade on Pro Football Focus of 90.2.

Sarratt was named an All-Sun Belt selection in 2023.

Before James Madison, Sarratt starred at Saint Francis. He earned FCS Freshman All-American honors after catching 42 passes for 700 yards and 13 touchdowns.

Sarratt holds offers from Wisconsin, Cal, Purdue, Utah and others in addition to South Carolina and Indiana football.

Sarratt has two seasons of eligibility remaining.

Following the departure of Curt Cignetti from James Madison, 10 players transferred to Indiana from JMU.

Indiana football added three wide receivers through the transfer portal this winter as well as retaining Donaven McCulley who had originally entreated the transfer portal, and EJ Williams and Omar Cooper Jr.
