In Season 79, Gayoso helped Ateneo secure the UAAP football title.[2] As of the end of Season 80 in 2018, he has yet to miss an appearance in the Final Four as part of Ateneo's squad. He also has been named best striker three times and a recipient of the MVP honor.[8]

In February 2020, Gayoso announced that he would not play for Ateneo in Season 82, despite still having one year eligibility, deciding to pursue a professional career after his stint with the Philippine youth national team at the 2019 Southeast Asian Games.[6]

Club

As part of Gayoso's announcement to prematurely end his collegiate career, he cited an opportunity to play football outside the Philippines as one of his reasons. He also disclosed as part of his preparations to play overseas that he would be playing for a local club.[6] It was reported that he would be playing for the Azkals Development Team of the Philippines Football League.[7]

In March 2019, Gayoso played for the Philippines in the qualifiers for the 2020 AFC U-23 Championship.[12] He scored a brace in the first half of the match against Laos; however, the Laotians managed to come back and win 3–2. Gayoso's goals were the only ones scored by the Philippines in the qualifiers as they crashed out without a single win.[13]

Gayoso took part in the Southeast Asian Games again in the 2019 edition which was hosted at home.[6] He almost did not make the final squad but his college coach Jaypee Merida helped him work on his weaknesses. At the regional games he played out-of-position as a right-back.[7]
