Watch: Stanford's Elic Ayomanor makes incredible one-handed TD catch

By Adam Gretz | Last updated Sep 20, 2024 8:37 PM ET

Stanford wide receiver Elic Ayomanor has a chance to be one of the top wide receivers in the 2025 NFL Draft class and gave a great demonstration as to why on Friday night against Syracuse.

Ayomanor opened the scoring in the first quarter with an absolutely jaw-dropping, one-handed touchdown catch to give the Cardinal an early 7-0 lead.

Have a look at the play here.

That is an incredible catch to go up and snag that with one hand.
Ayomanor had a breakout season in 2023 by catching 62 passes for 1,013 yards and six touchdowns. He entered play on Friday with 10 catches for 147 yards in Stanford's first two games.

With catches like that, as well as production like he has shown, he is going to be on the radar of NFL teams this season.
