A four-year college corner who used every inch of his 6-foot-4 frame to become San Francisco's fourth-round pick out of Washington.
Ephesians Prysock arrives in San Francisco as a long, physical outside cornerback who spent his college career bouncing between two Pac-12/Big Ten programs before breaking out as a senior. His size and ball skills made him a favorite target for teams looking to press bigger receivers at the next level, and the 49ers grabbed him in the middle rounds of the 2026 draft to add depth to their secondary.
Path to the league
Prysock was a four-star recruit out of Bishop Alemany High School in Mission Hills, California, rated among the top cornerbacks in the class of 2022. He began his college career at Arizona before transferring to Washington, giving him four total seasons of Power Conference experience. San Francisco selected him in the fourth round (139th overall) of the 2026 NFL Draft.
Career highlights
Across four seasons split between Arizona and Washington, Prysock totaled 170 tackles, 20 passes defensed and two interceptions in 49 games with 42 starts. He tested well at the combine, running a 4.45-second 40-yard dash and posting a 39-inch vertical jump, numbers that underline his rare size-speed combination at 6-foot-4.
