Stanford wide receiver Elic Ayomanor declares for NFL Draft

Junior wide receiver Elic Ayomanor intends to enter the NFL Draft, he announced Friday on X. The decision comes after head coach Troy Taylor said that he expected Ayomanor to be back, in a press conference ahead of Stanford’s game against San Jose State in November.

Ayomanor was an All-Pac-12 Honorable mention last season, and achieved second-team All ACC honors this year. In total, Ayomanor tallied 125 receptions and 1844 yards over the course of the past two years. The Canadian product will be most remembered by Stanford fans for his performance against Colorado last season, where he accumulated 13 receptions for 295 yards in the Cardinal’s 29-0 comeback win over the Buffaloes. 

Ayomanor has been graded out as a top-100 prospect, with the potential to go in the early-second round of the NFL Draft if things shake out right. 

With the departure of Ayomanor, wide receiver is now a position of need for Stanford. While freshman wide receiver Emmett Mosley V displayed flashes of brilliant play last season, other receivers on the roster have had more inconsistent production thus far in their careers.
