49ers Host Omar Cooper for Pre-Draft Visit

The San Francisco 49ers are concluding their pre-draft visit schedule with a meeting on Wednesday with Indiana wide receiver Omar Cooper, according to NFL Media’s Tom Pelissero. The visit comes as the 49ers evaluate potential additions to their revamped receiving corps ahead of the 2025 NFL Draft.

Cooper, who played a key role in Indiana’s national championship run during the 2024 season, recorded 69 receptions for 937 yards and 13 touchdowns in his final year with the Hoosiers. His performance has positioned him as a likely first-round selection when the draft begins next Thursday.

The 49ers have already reshaped their wide receiver group this offseason, signing veteran free agents Mike Evans and Christian Kirk to bolster the unit. Meanwhile, Kendrick Bourne and Skyy Moore have departed in free agency, while Jauan Jennings remains unsigned. Brandon Aiyuk, despite trade discussions, is expected to be released before the regular season.

Cooper’s visit reflects the team’s continued efforts to add depth and talent to the position as they prepare for the draft. With multiple roster moves already made, San Francisco appears focused on securing young, high-upside players to complement their veteran additions.

The 49ers hold the No. 31 overall pick in the first round and will have opportunities to address the wide receiver position early in the draft if they choose to do so. Cooper’s combination of size, route-running ability, and proven production in a pro-style offense makes him an appealing target for teams seeking immediate-impact receivers.

As the draft approaches, San Francisco’s meetings with prospects like Cooper signal their strategic planning for the next phase of their roster construction. The team’s mix of experienced signings and potential draft picks suggests a balanced approach to building a competitive receiving corps for the upcoming season.
