Ourlads' Profile:
2021 Guide: What Ourlads' NFL Scouting Services said about SAGE SURRATT: Wake Forest, 6025 215 4.70. Junior entry, two-year starter, Lincolnton, NC. Opted out of the 2020 season. Broke out of his shell in 2019 where he led the Power Five conferences with 1,001 receiving yards prior to getting injured and missing the rest of the year. The former high school North Carolina Player of the Year in both football and basketball scored 2,951 points on the hardwood, second all time in the history of the state. His skill set on the field is very much a product of that basketball success, as he shows elite ability to attack the ball once it is in the air. His understanding of how to work around defenders’ bodies with ease and fluidity will make him a quarterback friendly target at the next level. His lack of top end speed and ability after the catch will keep him out of the elite tier, but this is a player who will help an offense early and often. Power forward type presence in traffic. Plays big and strong when going after the ball, often has the significant advantage in 50/50 situations. Superior body control and balance. Hands are strong and soft. Skillfully gets off the line and understands angles and creases against press coverage. Subtly quick and balanced in small windows enable him to get initial positional advantages. Productive and machine-like in the red zone. Ball skills are at or very close to the elite level. Playing speed downfield shows a lack of separation. Could be more aggressive and assertive off the line. Needs to get into his route faster with more urgency. Doesn’t miss or run away from contact after the catch. Shows some heavy-type movement with the ball in his hands. 2019 stats: 66-1001, 15.2 ypr, 11 TD, 11-91 PR, 8.3 avg. Sixth/seventh round. (A-32, H-9, VJ-NA, SS-4.25).
