The San Francisco 49ers recently hosted Max Iheanachor—one of the top offensive tackle prospects in the 2026 NFL Draft—for a pre-draft visit as the team finalized its evaluations ahead of next week's event.

According to Matt Barrows of The Athletic, the Arizona State standout was among the 30 prospects permitted to visit the team's facility in Santa Clara.


Analysts widely project Iheanachor as a late first-round pick, placing him squarely in range for San Francisco at No. 27 overall. The 49ers are expected to explore long-term offensive tackle options, particularly with All-Pro left tackle Trent Williams turning 38 in July.

Iheanachor (6-6, 321) began his college career at East Los Angeles College before transferring to Arizona State, where he played three seasons. He appeared in 32 games with the Sun Devils, according to Sports Reference.

In 2025, Iheanachor started 12 games and did not allow a sack across 484 pass-blocking snaps, per Pro Football Focus. He surrendered just three quarterback hits and 11 hurries for a total of 14 pressures, earning second-team All-Big 12 honors.

San Francisco has also hosted several other offensive line prospects, including former Utah tackle Caleb Lomu and former Alabama tackle Kadyn Proctor, as the team continues to evaluate potential additions to quarterback Brock Purdy's protection.
