Ayomanor Lands with Titans

Stanford wide receiver taken in the fourth round

GREEN BAY, Wis. — Stanford wide receiver Elic Ayomanor was drafted Saturday by the Tennessee Titans in the fourth round with the 136th overall pick of the 2025 NFL Draft. He becomes the 282nd Cardinal to be drafted and the 57th since 2010, the fourth most among ACC schools.

Over two years, the Medicine Hat, Alberta, Canada native caught 125 passes for 1,844 yards and 12 touchdowns, leading the team in all receiving categories during that span. Twice, Ayomanor was named all-conference, including Stanford’s first All-ACC honoree in 2024, and he was named the 2023 recipient of the Jon Cornish Trophy, given to the best NCAA football player from Canada.

During his second season on The Farm, Ayomanor finished with a career-high 63 receptions and finished sixth in the conference with 831 receiving yards. For the second time in as many seasons, he scored six touchdowns, including a three-game stretch to begin ACC play where he became the first Cardinal to record receiving touchdowns in three-straight games since Brycen Tremayne in 2021.

Ayomanor burst onto the scene on Oct. 13, 2023, at Colorado, when he set the Stanford single-game receiving record of 294 yards. His three-touchdown performance against the Buffaloes, highlighted by his spectacular catch against future Heisman Trophy winner Travis Hunter, helped fuel the largest comeback (29 points) in Stanford history as the Cardinal won 46-43 in double overtime.

In addition to his success on the field, Ayomanor held a 3.96 grade point average as a Computer Science major at Stanford. He’s earned a host of academic awards during his time at Stanford, including First Team Academic All-America honors from CSC. He was also chosen as a Military Bowl STEM Scholar-Athlete in 2024.

Ayomanor becomes the 24th Stanford wide receiver selected in the NFL Draft and the first since Michael Wilson and Elijah Higgins were both drafted in 2023. Stanford has had at least one player taken in every NFL Draft since 2010. Ayomanor is the first Stanford player taken by the Titans since Tank Williams in 2002.
