Top Performers from Stanford Cardinal

Running back Micah Ford and wide receiver Elic Ayomanor have been crucial to Stanford's offense as well. Ford rushed for 34 yards against Wake Forest, showing his ability to break through defenses, while Ayomanor has been a reliable target, hauling in 96 receiving yards in the same game.


Defensively, linebacker Tristan Sinclair stands out with an impressive nine tackles against SMU Mustangs, highlighting his role as a key player in Stanford's defense strategy.
