49ers hold pre-draft workout with high-upside interior pass rusher

The San Francisco 49ers' deep dive into the 2026 NFL draft's defensive line class continued with a private workout with Syracuse defensive lineman Kevin Jobity Jr. Aaron Wilson from KPRC2 in Houston first reported the pre-draft workout . This continues a trend for the 49ers as they dive deep on prospects who weren't invited to the combine.

The team also had pre-draft meetings with Wisconsin defensive lineman Darryl Peterson and Virginia Tech DL Kelvin Gilliam, neither of whom were invited to the combine. Jobity is a little bit different mold than that pair, however. While Peterson and Gilliam were both 'tweener' edge/defensive tackles, Jobity is a more prototypical defensive tackle at 6-4, 300 pounds, although he did rush off the edge in the Orange's 3-4 defense.

He also has a ton of upside as an interior pass rusher. In his four years at Syracuse he posted 10. 0 sacks, including a career-best 5.

0 in his final season. He also racked up 20. 5 tackles for loss in his 38 games.
