De'Zhaun Stribling Drafted by 49ers

0:00On April 25, Dejon Stribling, the former Capoli High School standout, just got drafted by the San Francisco 49ers with the 33rd. Overall pick, first in the second round of the NFL draft in Pittsburgh. His stock skyrocketed after tearing it up at the NFL Combine back in February, clocking a 4.36 in the 40-yard dash, hitting a 36-inch vertical jump, all at 6 foot 2 and 207 pounds, as nailing those media interviews. Coming off a gap year, he bounced around three college programs over five seasons, two years at Washington State, two at Oklahoma State, then captored, Ado Miss, where he was a big reason they pushed deep into the college football playoffs. That final year with the Rebels, he led with six touchdown catches, racked up 55 receptions for 811 yards, and shown in the postseason with key grabs and wins over Tulane and Georgia before that tight semi-final loss to Miami.

1:01Stribbling wraps his college career with 216 catches, nearly 3,000 yards, 23 scores, averaging 13.7 yards per grab, now he's primed to bring that speed and hands to the Niners lineup. NFL News Today, powered by AI, bringing you what matters on Game Day.
