Elic Ayomanor Bio

Originally from Alberta, Canada, Elic Ayomanor spent the last of his high school years at Deerfield Academy in Massachusetts. There, he was a track star, setting records in both the 100-meter and the 200-meter. He was also pretty good on the football field, too. So good, in fact, that he earned a three-star recruiting rating in the class of 2022. That led to offers from Cal, Notre Dame, Tennessee, Arizona, Boston College, Ole Miss, Penn State, and others. 

Ayomanor opted to sign with Stanford where he missed his true freshman season due to injury. As a redshirt freshman in 2023, Ayomanor amassed over 1,000 yards on 62 receptions while scoring six touchdowns. He set a school record against Colorado with a 294-yard, three touchdown performance. That catapulted him to the Jon Hornish Trophy, awarded to the best Canadian player in college football.

Ayomanor followed up his record-setting 2023 campaign with another 63 receptions for 831 yards and six touchdowns in 2024. He was named second-team All-ACC and declared for the NFL Draft after the season, forgoing his remaining two years of eligibility.

NFL Draft & Dynasty Outlook:

Elic Ayomanor is a big, strong, powerful wide receiver who wins with strength and aggression. He out-duels defenders with his physicality and bully mentality. Ayomanor presents a big target for his quarterback, winning on the perimeter and down the field. He’ll use a variety of release tactics to create separation off the line while hand fighting throughout the route and taking advantage of his large frame to win at the catch point. He tracks the ball well in the air and knows how to position himself to out-race the defender to the catch. Ayomanor has enough speed to get open vertically and to get up field after the catch.

Stanford used Ayomanor mostly on the perimeter with a focus on vertical patterns, hitches, and drags, with the occasional double-move mixed in. In fact, more than half of his routes were go’s and hitches, according to TruMedia (via the33rdTeam). That’s about what we can expect from him at the NFL level, at least until he develops his route tree further. He showed enough to think he can add to his repertoire and even slide into a big slot role from time to time. Though, I do expect he will be predominantly used along the boundary. NFL teams will appreciate his physical nature and his sense of urgency throughout the play—both as a receiver and as a blocker in the run game. He will wear out defenders with his play style and competitiveness.

Fantasy football

Ayomanor projects as a team’s No. 2 or 3 receiver who will man the X while presenting a big-play threat on the outside. Defenses will be forced to respect his impressive combination of speed and physicality in all phases of the game. If he is able to expand his route tree and develop into a more complete receiver, Ayomanor would really unlock his ceiling. No matter what happens, though, he will absolutely be a guy who will garner looks in the red zone. He will even earn his way on the field with his enthusiastic and effective run blocking. That will get him on the field early—and that’s step one on the road to developing into a productive player.

Ayomanor will likely come off the board in the second round to a team believing they can pull that upside out of him. In dynasty, he’s one of the most fun prospects to select in the second round of rookie drafts.
