Head Coach Jack Leggett on Sarratt: "Justin is one of the hardest workers and toughest competitors on the team. He is a player who is a team guy from the moment he steps on the field to the moment he goes home. He throws from a three-quarter arm-slot. He has a chance to be effective this year because of his competitiveness and desire to win."
