A proven playmaker
Sullivan had an impressive college career at Central Michigan, where he played for five seasons. He earned First Team All-MAC honors in 2019 and finished his time with the Chippewas as a key offensive weapon. In his best season (2021), he recorded 687 receiving yards and 10 touchdowns, showing his ability to make big plays. After college, he continued his professional career with the Seattle Sea Dragons in the XFL.
A deep threat for the Raiders
Head coach Jim Herrmann is excited about Sullivan’s potential: "The first thing that came to my mind while evaluating Jacorey's film was that we just found our deep ball guy. He is a big, physical player at the reception point, and his route running is crisp with no wasted movement."
General Manager Ulz Däuber also praised the new signing: "Jacorey is not only a tremendous WR but also a great leader on the field. His physicality and attention to detail will be visible on every single play. Defenses will have to game plan around him."
A new challenge in Europe
Sullivan himself is eager to take on this new opportunity: "I’m truly blessed, honored, excited, and thankful that God has given me the opportunity to play for the Raiders! It’s been a long journey, and I’m ready to go. This will be my first time leaving the country, and I get to do something I love—it’s truly a blessing! Let’s rock out!"
With his size, strong hands, and ability to make plays downfield, Sullivan is expected to be a key part of the Raiders' offense in the upcoming season.
