Stanford wide receiver Elic Ayomanor continues to make his case as one of the most talented pass-catchers in the 2025 NFL Draft cycle. Below we check out his 2024 season stats, mock draft projection, and much more.
Where Did Elic Ayomanor Project in Our 7-Round NFL Mock Draft?
In the latest mock draft from Pro Football Network NFL Draft Analyst Ian Cummings, Ayomanor was the first pick in the third round, selected by the Carolina Panthers. He would join Jalen Milroe as the future of the Panthers now that Bryce Young has been relegated to Andy Dalton’s backup.
“Elic Ayomanor is the exact kind of clutch WR who can capitalize on Milroe’s fearless late-down throws, and he still has RAC potential to unearth.”

Ayomanor’s Scouting Report and Measurements
- Height: 6’2″
- Weight: 210 pounds
- Position: Wide Receiver
- School: Stanford
- Current Year: Redshirt Sophomore
Here is what Cummings had to say in Ayomanor’s scouting report.
“There might not be a more interesting WR prospect in the 2025 NFL Draft class than Ayomanor. The 6’2″, 210-pounder was originally born in Medicine Hat, Alberta, before crossing the United States-Canada border to play high school ball at Deerfield Academy in Massachusetts.
At Deerfield, Ayomanor stood out on the football field, in track (with a personal best 100m dash of 10.76), and in the classroom. He had offers to play football at a host of Power Five and Ivy League schools but chose to suit up for Stanford on the West Coast.
Ayomanor’s first season was robbed of him by a torn ACL, MCL, and meniscus suffered in a preseason practice. But in 2023, the redshirt freshman returned with a vengeance — hauling in 62 receptions for 1,013 yards and six touchdowns. He won the Jon Cornish Trophy — given to the best Canadian football player in CFB.
The highlight of Ayomanor’s 2023 resurgence was a breathtakingly dominant performance against Travis Hunter and the Colorado Buffaloes — in which Ayomanor caught 13 passes for a school-record 294 yards and three touchdowns.”
Ayomanor’s 2024 Season Stats and Game Breakdowns
- Receiving Yards: 388
- Catches: 31
- Touchdowns: 4
- Yards Per Catch: 12.5
Both as a RAC threat and a contested-catch savant, Ayomanor has some of the most distinct two-phase big-play ability in the 2025 NFL Draft. When the ball is in his hands, he’s strong, explosive, and physical. And when he’s tracking it in the air, he’s proactive, clutch, authoritative, and brings an alpha mentality.
Even more exciting about Ayomanor’s tape is the promise of an independent separator. He’s still developing that part of his game, but Ayomanor has great cylindrical twitch, initial foot speed, and flexibility, which he can use to offset, sink, and surge out of breaks.
