Here’s a UDFA tracker for the names the 49ers reportedly signed:
Oklahoma WR Tay Martin signs with the 49ers as a UDFA, according to the source.
— Ben Standig (@BenStandig) April 30, 2022
Devontaeveon (Tae) Martin had 1,050 yards from scrimmage and 11 total touchdowns for Oklahoma St. this season. A fifth grader, Martin spent the first three seasons of his career in Washington State before joining Stillwater in 2020. Martin contributed in each of his three seasons at Washington St. but was only a top option after his move.
Former San Diego State LB Segun Olubi signs with the #49erper source.
— Tom Pelissero (@TomPelissero) April 30, 2022
Olubi was the San Diego State team captain and finished last season with 53 tackles, two sacks, 3.5 tackles for loss, two forced fumbles and 10 QB hits in seven starts. He placed ninth in the Mountain West Conference in forced fumbles.
Mercer OC/OG Jason Poe co-signs #49er as UFDA, per sources.
— Matt Lombardo (@MattLombardoNFL) April 30, 2022
Poe is one of the most interesting development projects in this year’s class and one of the most athletic offensive players in this year’s class. Despite this, Poe was never able to assert himself against the relatively weak competition from Mercer and was able to limit himself to the next level. However, he put on a stellar performance in Mercer’s matchup against Alabama, allowing just one press of 24 pass-blocking snaps, according to Pro Football Focus.
Jeremiah Gemmel was a consistent starting linebacker in North Carolina, averaging about 80 tackles, 6.5 tackles for losses, three passes defended, two sacks, two forced fumbles, and one interception per year from 2019-2021. Gemmel is credited by his teammates, ” Dubbed The General” and receives praise for its intangibles.
Tayler Hawkins, the second San Diego St. defenseman the 49ers signed via undrafted free agency, has been a key part of SDSU in each of the last four seasons. Hawkins played mostly at cornerback but filled in 2020 from safety. Hawkins had his most productive season in 2021 with 62 tackles, 10 passes defended, two interceptions, a tackle for loss and a forced fumble.
Hawkins is a player believed would be drafted. He played cornerback for the Aztecs where he showed physicality, big eyes in the zone and an ability to stay with wide receivers. Hawkins was fifth among all draft-eligible cornerbacks in yards per coverage snap. He was also seventh in the percentage of passes handled by the defender.
At Pro Day in Pittsburgh, Mack ran a 4.55 40-yard dash and had a 36-inch vertical jump with a 10-foot, 2-inch long jump. His shuttles were below average as his short shuttle was 4.33 and his 3 cone time was 7.28.
Mack contributed during all five of his collegiate seasons but never eclipsed 750 yards in a season. Mack originally visited Indiana, where he recorded 310 receiving yards as a freshman before moving to Pittsburgh. Mack peaked in 2019 with 63 receptions for 736 receiving yards and three touchdowns, but was soon overshadowed by the arrival of Fred Biletnikoff Award winner Jordan Addison. Injuries limited Mack to just 8 games last season. He caught 27 passes for 461 yards (17.1 yards per reception) and three touchdowns.
That #49er sign UDFA Texas A&M S Leon O’Neal.
— Doug Kyed (@DougKyed) May 1, 2022
O’Neal was a player whom some had ridiculed about the 49ers during the drafting process. He’s more of an underpacker who is better served around the line of scrimmage. He’s physically fit, but he doesn’t have the reach and fights in the open field. O’Neal’s stock fell after posting a 4.76 40-yard dash time, but there’s reason to believe he has a much better pace of play
Showing such a closing speed on the tape is much more important to me than what the stopwatch says when you run 40 meters in a straight line
I’m just interested in what happens when the pads come on
