Tony Pauline of Sportskeeda reports that the 49ers met with Bassa, who reportedly ran the 40-yard dash in 4.55 to 4.6 seconds, slightly improving upon his 4.63 40-time at the NFL Scouting Combine in Indianapolis.
"He looked smooth in position drills and good in coverage drills," Pauline wrote of his Pro Day workout.
Brett Austin Taylor, a sports anchor for KEZI 9 News, noted that Bassa and Lynch were seen "talking for a nice long while."
At the Combine, Bassa also posted a 38.5-inch vertical jump, a broad jump of 9 feet, 10 inches, and 21 reps on the bench press.
Bassa (6-1, 232) recorded 54 tackles (three for a loss), 1.5 sacks, two passes defensed, and two forced fumbles in 14 games (12 starts) as a senior in 2024, according to Sports Reference. Over his four collegiate seasons, he accumulated 236 tackles (14 for a loss), 4.5 sacks, four passes defensed, three interceptions, a touchdown, and two forced fumbles.
Bassa ranks as the sixth-best linebacker on Pro Football Focus' big board and has earned a defensive grade of at least 73.4 in each of the last two seasons.
