Declares for NFL Draft Ayomanor has declared for the 2025 NFL Draft, according to his announcement Friday.

Impact Ayomanor will forgo two years of collegiate eligibility. After redshirting his 2022 season, he broke out in 2023. Ayomanor logged 62 receptions for 1,013 yards (16.3 averaged per reception) and six touchdowns then. The redshirt sophomore looked to prove 2023 was not a fluke this year, and his draft announcement gives away how well he played. Ayomanor recorded 63 receptions for 831 yards and six TDs in 2024. All that output warrants a draft selection, though how up the board he goes is still debatable.

Valiant effort in loss Ayomanor had 10 receptions (on 12 targets) for 109 yards during Friday's 34-31 loss against San Jose State.

Impact Ayomanor left it all on the field in his final game of the 2024 campaign. He hit the 100-yard mark for the third time, also hitting double digit targets for the first time since Week 9. The star receiver was the victim of a poor passing game this fall, but he still managed to compile 63 catches for 831 yards and six scores. With now bowl game in the cards for the Cardinal, Ayomanor may look towards the NFL.

DECEMBER 2, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Solid day in narrow defeat Ayomanor logged five receptions (on eight targets) for 62 yards during Saturday's 24-21 loss against California.

Impact Ayomanor had another solid if not wild performance. The receiver has been involved every week, but Stanford's tepid passing attack has capped his production. He'll look to close the season on a high note against San Jose State before potentially considering the NFL.

Scores on just two catches Ayomanor caught 2 of 7 targets for 68 yards and one touchdown during Saturday's 38-35 victory versus Louisville.

Impact Ayomanor had a far from efficient day, but he managed to find the end zone for the sixth time this fall. Ayomanor was out-shined by an explosive performance from true freshman Emmett Mosely, but he still saw seven targets and will remain a staple of this passing game moving forward. The receiver has been hampered by some poor quarterback play this fall, but it'll be interesting to see in Ashton Daniels can keep it up after his best performance yet against the Cardinals.

NOVEMBER 18, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Finally cracks 100 yards again Ayomanor recorded four receptions (on seven targets) for 108 yards and one touchdown during Saturday's 59-28 loss to North Carolina State.

Impact Ayomanor eclipsed the 100-yard mark for the first time since the opener. The receiver remains the top pass-catcher in this offense, and after a head-scratching showing of just five targets in Week 7, he's racked up 29 targets over the past three weeks. Stanford's offense might be a mess, but at least its throwing the ball to its unquestioned top receiver.

NOVEMBER 4, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Extremely efficient in loss Ayomanor posted 11 receptions (on 12 targets) for 96 yards during Saturday's 27-24 defeat against Wake Forest.

Impact Good things tend to happen when you throw the ball Ayomanor's way. That was on full display against the Demon Deacons, as he reeled in a whopping 11 of his 12 targets on Saturday. The receiver just barely missed the 100-yard mark, a milestone he hasn't hit since the opener. Still, he'll continue to get peppered with targets as one of the few bright spots on this Stanford offense.

OCTOBER 28, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Manages to score in blowout loss Ayomanor compiled four receptions (on 10 targets) for 55 yards and one touchdown during Saturday's 40-10 loss to Southern Methodist.

Impact Ayomanor was targeted 10 times, which is a step up from last week's blowout loss where he only saw five targets. Stanford made a concerted effort to get its star receiver the ball, and was rewarded with a touchdown and 55 yards. It was the wideout's fourth score of the season, but he's still only topped 100 yards once - in the opener against TCU - and is suffering from Stanford's brutal quarterback play as of late.

OCTOBER 21, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Quietest day of 2024 in loss Ayomanor caught 3 of 5 targets for 16 yards during Saturday's 49-7 defeat against Notre Dame.

Impact There's now a troubling trend regarding Ayomanor's production; the receiver has seen his yards and catches drop in each of the past four games. He remains the unquestioned top pass-catcher in this offense, but Ayomanor has suffered from extremely poor quarterback play in recent weeks. Even in a blowout loss, there's no way he should only accumulate five targets. The receiver will look to get back to the kind of production he's used to against SMU on Saturday.

OCTOBER 14, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Scores lone TD in loss Ayomanor reeled in 3 of 9 targets for 33 yards and one touchdown during Saturday's 31-7 loss versus Virginia Tech.

Impact Ayomanor has been the most consistent player on Stanford's offense, and that continued against the Hokies. Despite a highly inefficient day, one that wasn't helped by a poor performance from quarterback Justin Lamson, Ayomanor still managed to score his third touchdown of the season. The receiver will continue to see plenty of targets regardless of who plays quarterback for Stanford, but this offenses' struggles have certainly limited his ability to produce.

OCTOBER 7, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Scores in blowout loss Ayomanor hauled in 4 of 8 targets for 50 yards and one touchdown during Saturday's 40-14 defeat to Clemson.

Impact Ayomanor managed to break the plane in a big loss to Clemson. The wideout has now scored in back-to-back games, and it's a good sign that he can continue to get his even amidst a blowout loss. He'll continue to be heavily involved moving forward.

SEPTEMBER 30, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Peppered with targets in win Ayomanor reeled in 7 of 15 targets for 87 yards and one touchdown during Friday's 26-24 victory versus Syracuse.

Impact Ayomanor's 15 targets were the most he's seen this season, and he turned that into solid production, scoring for the first time this season. After a quiet game against Cal Ploy, the talented wideout returned to form in a razor-thin contest against Syracuse. Ayomanor seems to thrive in tight games, which bodes well considering Stanford is about to start its ACC conference stretch.

Quiet day in blowout win Ayomanor hauled in 3 of 4 targets for 45 yards during Saturday's 41-7 victory over Cal Poly.

Impact Ayomanor remains Stanford's unquestioned top wideout, he just didn't need to do much in a very comfortable win over an FCS opponent. Ismael Cisse assumed his role as the leading receiver for the Cardinal in Week 2, but Ayomanor will continue to be a fixure of this offense moving forward.

Tops 100 yards in Week 1 Ayomanor posted seven receptions (on 12 targets) for 102 yards during Friday's 34-27 defeat against TCU.

Impact Ayomanor was unsurprisingly the Cardinal's top receiver in Week 1. With his 12 targets, he's clearly the top wideout on this team and it isn't particularly close. It's also encouraging that even on a rough day for Stanford quarterback Ashton Daniels, Ayomanor had no problem getting his. He'll continue to be a big-time playmaker for this offense moving forward.

Feeling healthy for fall camp Ayomanor is feeling healthy heading into the 2024 season, he told the ACC Network.

Impact Ayomanor missed the spring game in April for undisclosed reasons, but based on what he told the ACC Network, it seems that he was still not feeling 100 percent since he tore his ACL and MCL during his freshman year. He still had a very productive season in 2023 despite not feeling completely healthy, as he caught 62 passes for 1,013 yards and six touchdowns. Barring any setbacks, it appears he will be ready to go by the start of the season.

AUGUST 1, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Significant regression in loss Ayomanor caught 3 of 7 targets for 43 yards during Saturday's 27-15 defeat against California.

Impact Ayomanor has established himself as Stanford's top receiving target, but he didn't have much success against Cal. Since his record-breaking 294-yard performance a month ago, he's had two additional games with 100 or more receiving yards. Saturday marked his lowest yardage total since Week 5 against Oregon.

NOVEMBER 20, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Logs 53 receiving yards Ayomanor (shoulder) logged four receptions for 53 yards during Stanford's 10-7 win Saturday at Washington State.

Impact Fortunately for Stanford, Ayomanor was available as Stanford narrowly defeated Washington State. Though his latest log would be good for most receivers, it was relatively disappointing for him. This is considering the October that Ayomanor had, as he recorded 30 receptions for 530 yards and four touchdowns across Stanford's three games.
