Indiana University Football Wide Receiver Elijah Sarratt Named a Preseason Pick for the Biletnikoff Award 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. The TQC Foundation, Inc., is an independent, charitable organization designated with 501(c)(3) status that was founded in 1994. Many trustees have contributed to its development as one of the most prominent awards in college football. The TQC Foundation, Inc., joined the idea of a college receiver’s award to the organization’s vision and created the outstanding award and dynamic organization. The Biletnikoff Award is a member of the National College Football Awards Association. Founded in 1997, the NCFAA includes college football’s most prestigious awards, and its 24 awards have honored more than 900 recipients dating back to 1935.
Indiana University Volleyball Fall Camp is Underway The Indiana volleyball program officially kicks off its 2025 campaign with its first team practice on Wednesday afternoon at Wilkinson Hall. There are just three weeks until the Hoosiers begin the regular season on the road against Miami (Fla.) in Coral Gables. A mix of veteran players and talented newcomers make up a 17-player squad for eighth-year head coach Steve Aird in Bloomington this season. Leading the way for IU is one of the Big Ten’s most productive duos in senior outside hitter Candela Alonso-Corcelles and senior opposite hitter Avry Tatum. Among returning offensive duos in the Big Ten, no pair combined for more kills per set than Alonso-Corcelles and Tatum (7.20). At power four schools, where both players were on the team last season, only Stanford’s Elia Rubin and Ipar Kurt (7.21) had more kills per set.
Two of IU’s highest-ranked recruits in program history – outside hitters Charlotte Vinson and Jaidyn Jager will help add depth to the crucial position this season. Along with veteran utility player Jessica Smith, the Hoosiers have a host of arms to score valuable points in the conference. Senior Madi Sell and Ava Vickers return in the middle and are aided by sophomore Ella Boersema and highly regarded freshman Victoria Gray. With an extra year under the belt for all players, IU is expecting more offensive production from the group this season. IU’s incoming freshman class – which includes six American players and Serbian setter Teodora Krickovic – is the top-ranked group (No. 14 – Prep Dig) to ever make it to Bloomington. Defensive specialists Hannah Leftridge, Avery Freeman and Audrey Jackson will all see the court at some point early this season. The Hoosiers were selected 11th in the Big Ten in the preseason coaches’ poll. IU has met or exceeded preseason predictions in each of the last three years. IU was without a representative on the 18-player Big Ten preseason team but does return four starters from last year’s team.
Indianapolis Indians fall to the Omaha Storm Chasers 5-4 Nick Pratto kicked off a four-run third inning with a home run for the Omaha Storm Chasers as they took down the Indianapolis Indians, 5-4, in Game 2 of their six-game series on Wednesday afternoon at Victory Field .Pratto’s homer came off Drake Fellows (L, 7-4) and kicked off the scoring for Omaha (12-23, 43-66). The Storm Chasers then proceeded to load the bases with no outs on two singles and a hit by pitch, setting up Carter Jensen to break the tie with a two-run ground-rule double. Luca Tresh rounded off Omaha’s game-deciding frame with a sacrifice fly, putting them on top, 4-1.
The Indians (23-12, 65-44) wasted no time getting on the scoreboard in the first frame. Ji Hwan Bae walked and stole second before being brought home on a Nick Solak double. The hit extended Solak’s on-base streak to 39 games since June 10, the longest run in Triple-A this season. Indy tacked on another run after Omaha’s big inning, courtesy of an RBI single from Matt Fraizer in the fourth inning, to make it 4-2. Dairon Blanco led off Omaha’s seventh inning with a double and Tresh added a final run to the Storm Chasers’ tally with a triple. The Indians responded by loading the bases and plating a run on a sacrifice fly from Fraizer but stranded the game-tying runs at second and third in their half. Ronny Simon scratched across another run for Indy with an RBI single to pull the Indians within one, but Indy’s rally stopped there. John Gant (W, 3-3) made the start for Omaha and allowed two runs in 5.0 innings on his way to a victory and Michael Fulmer (S, 4) blanked Indianapolis across the final 2.0 innings for the save.
