The San Francisco 49ers saw some turnover in their linebacker room this offseason with Dre Greenlaw signing with the Denver Broncos, former Tennessee Titan Luke Gifford joining Robert Saleh's defense and De'Vondre Campbell being left unsigned on the market.
With all of that change, San Francisco didn't exactly feel comfortable with their depth at the position behind four-time All-Pro Fred Warner entering the 2025 NFL draft, so they used one of their third-round picks (No. 75 overall) on Oklahoma State linebacker Nick Martin.
Martin, 22, was a three-star recruit at Pleasant Grove High School in Texarkana, Texas before committing to Oklahoma State in his senior year.
