2024: Blue Bombers

Ayers signed with the Blue Bombers on February 2, 2024 and had a solid first season in the Canadian Football League, suiting up for 17 games and starting two. He made his CFL debut in the season opener against the Montreal Alouettes and then started two games at the end of the season, the first coming on September 28th against the Edmonton Elks.

Ayers finished the year with 28 total tackles — 11 on defence and a team-leading 17 on special teams, which was the fourth-highest total in the CFL — while adding a sack, an interception and a fumble recovery for a touchdown on punt coverage in a win over Hamilton in August.

Pro/College

Ayers first turned pro after signing last spring with the Seattle Seahawks as an undrafted free agent.
A star at Division II Ashland, he was the Great Midwest Athletic Conference Player of the Year and Defensive Player of the Year in 2021 and was named to the AFCA All-America first team after finishing the season with 48 solo tackles, 10.5 tackles for loss, three sacks, one interception, eight pass breakups, 11 quarterback hurries, three forced fumbles, and a fumble recovery.
