14 undrafted free agents sign with 49ers

The 49ers on Monday officially announced the addition of 14 undrafted free agents. San Francisco will bring in those 14 rookies along with their nine draft picks.

The 14 UDFAs are split down the middle with seven on offense and seven on defense.

DL Kevin Atkins, Fresno State
LB Jeremiah Gemmel, North Carolina

LB Marcelino McCrary-Ball, Indiana
LB Segun Olubi, San Diego State
CB Qwuantrezz Knight, UCLA
S Tayler Hawkins, San Diego State
S Leon O’Neal Jr., Texas A&M
RB Jordan Mason, Georgia Tech
WR Taysir Mack, Pittsburgh
WR Tay Martin, Oklahoma State
TE Garrett Walston, North Carolina
OL Jason Poe, Mercer
OL Sam Schlueter, Minnesota
OL Dohnovan West, Arizona State

The 49ers have a good track record of getting production from undrafted rookies either in their rookie seasons or a couple years into their careers.

San Francisco didn’t add any linebackers, safeties or tight ends in the draft. They also didn’t add any natural interior offensive linemen despite having two starting jobs open at that spot.

While this year may not be prime for UDFAs to find room on the roster, there will be some openings in the coming years that 2022 undrafted players may be able to fill.
