Matt Barrows of The Athletic shared intel on the 49ers' pre-draft visits, sharing that former Michigan edge rusher Jaishawn Barham and former Baylor tight end Michael Trigg were recent visitors—both newly added to our pre-draft visit tracker.
Trigg is the only known tight end to meet with San Francisco during this cycle. Barrows noted that last year, the 49ers hosted Harold Fannin Jr., who the Cleveland Browns later selected in the third round.
"Fannin and Trigg aren't duplicates, but both are 'move' tight ends, the type of player Shanahan has utilized in the past," Barrows wrote. "In fact, you could almost list Trigg under the 'wide receiver' heading above. He caught 50 passes for 694 yards and six touchdowns last season."
Barrows did not provide additional details on Barham, but the defender wrapped up his collegiate career—split between Maryland and Michigan—with 12 sacks and 193 tackles (23 for loss). He also recorded an interception, seven passes defensed, and two forced fumbles.
Both Trigg and Barham are widely projected as Day 2—or at worst, early Day 3—selections heading into the 2026 NFL Draft, which kicks off next week.
