Stanford's Elic Ayomanor Delivers Spectacular One-Handed TD Catch Against Syracuse

The Stanford Cardinals opened as 9.5-point underdogs against Syracuse on the road Friday night, but they struck first with a stunning touchdown.

Quarterback Ashton Daniels connected with star wide receiver Elic Ayomanor , who made a jaw-dropping one-handed catch in the end zone.

Ayomanor is considered an NFL -caliber talent and has been highly regarded in the ACC . Despite a slow start, with just 10 receptions for 147 yards entering the Friday night, he showcased his elite skills with this incredible grab, proving just how impactful he can be on the field.

This marks the Cardinals' first official game in the ACC after leaving the Pac-12 at the end of last season, and they have a chance to upset a solid 2-0 Syracuse team that has looked impressive in its first two outings.

If Stanford hopes to pull off the upset, Elic Ayomanor must be a focal point of their offense. The Cardinals have struggled with their offensive line this season, leaving quarterback Ashton Daniels with limited time to navigate the pocket.

Daniels has already been sacked five times in the first two games, making it essential for Ayomanor to emerge as a quick and reliable target. He certainly proved his value in the first quarter, as Stanford seeks a much-needed win on the road.
