The San Francisco 49ers traded wide receiver Deebo Samuel to the Washington Commanders this offseason. Brandon Aiyuk is recovering from ACL and MCL injuries, casting doubt on his availability for Week 1. With Jauan Jennings and rookie Ricky Pearsall currently leading the depth chart, the team may look to the upcoming draft to strengthen the receiving corps ahead of the 2025 season.

Two local wide receiver prospects are expected to attend the 49ers' local pro day on Wednesday. According to Matt Barrows of The Athletic, Stanford's Elic Ayomanor—initially reported by Brad Graham—and San Jose State's Nick Nash are slated to be in Santa Clara for the event.


Cal linebacker Teddye Buchanan is also expected to be in attendance.

While all three prospects are planning to attend, Barrows notes it's unclear whether any of them will participate in on-field workouts in front of head coach Kyle Shanahan and the 49ers' staff.

"There might be a half dozen or so draft-able players on hand," Barrows noted.


Ayomanor (6-2, 206) hauled in 63 receptions for 831 yards and six touchdowns in 12 games as a junior in 2024, earning second-team All-ACC honors, per Sports Reference. He posted even stronger numbers in 2023 with 62 catches for 1,013 yards and six scores.

Nash (6-2, 203), a former quarterback turned wide receiver, had a breakout season in 2024. He caught 104 passes for 1,382 yards and led the FBS with 16 receiving touchdowns, per Sports Reference, earning first-team AP All-American and first-team All-Mountain West honors.


Buchanan (6-2, 233) led Cal's defense last season with 114 total tackles (12 for loss), five sacks, and two forced fumbles, per Sports Reference. His performance earned him first-team All-ACC recognition.
