A Canadian record-setter at Stanford who stepped into Tennessee's starting lineup as a rookie and produced from day one.
Elic Ayomanor grew up in Medicine Hat, Alberta, before becoming one of the most productive receivers in Stanford history over just two healthy seasons. The Titans traded up to grab him in the fourth round of the 2025 draft, and he immediately claimed a starting receiver spot as a rookie.
Path to the league
Ayomanor enrolled at Stanford in 2022 but missed his true freshman season to injury. Over the following two seasons he became the focal point of Stanford's passing game. The Titans selected him with the 136th overall pick in the fourth round of the 2025 NFL Draft, trading up to secure him.
Career highlights
Ayomanor caught 125 passes for 1,844 yards and 12 touchdowns across his two seasons at Stanford (2023-2024), leading the team in every receiving category both years. He set a school record with 294 receiving yards on 13 catches and three touchdowns against Colorado in 2023, was named Stanford's first All-ACC honoree in 2024, and won the 2023 Jon Cornish Trophy as the top Canadian player in NCAA football.
2025 season recap
Ayomanor started 14 of 16 games as a rookie for Tennessee, catching 41 passes for 515 yards and four touchdowns while playing alongside veterans Calvin Ridley and Tyler Lockett. His first NFL touchdown came in Week 2 against the Los Angeles Rams on a nine-yard catch from quarterback Cam Ward.
