Nick Mayers still stands as one of ODU’s all-time receiving greats
Nick Mayers is best remembered for elite production at Old Dominion, where he ranks among the program’s top career pass-catchers with 190 receptions, 2,688 receiving yards, and 30 touchdown catches, plus a school-record 1,233-yard season in 2012[4][11]. That profile screams big-play polish: he was a proven volume target, a red-zone weapon, and a player who could take over games, including a 271-yard outing that remains ODU’s single-game receiving benchmark[4][9]. For a team, the fit is obvious if you want a receiver who can separate, finish drives, and bring a high-floor, alpha-dog mentality.
