The San Francisco 49ers were among the 15 teams at the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga on Thursday for the football program's pro day. Among the top prospects from the school was OL Corey Levin, who met with the 49ers, per NFL Draft Diamonds.
Levin won a starting job along the Mocs' offensive line as a freshman. Over the next two seasons, he started all 27 games for the program playing both left tackle and left guard, and was named the Jacobs Blocking Trophy winner in both years. Levin played left guard during his senior year and was a first-team All-SoCon pick.
Levin didn't run the 40-yard dash at the pro day on Friday but participated in other drills. "Well I really worked on snapping the ball and playing center," Levin said. "I've had a few team workouts. I talked to the coaches. They were testing me on my IQ. Seeing if I could make line calls, and call a defense from the center position."
"Levin would benefit from additional weight and muscle on his frame, but he does have tools to work with. He has enough athletic ability to fit with a team who wants to get their guards into space and he might have enough functional balance and core strength to hold up as a base blocker. If Levin can snap and give a team center/guard roster flexibility, he should increase his chances of sticking on a roster."

Ian Rapoport didn't offer much of an update on the ongoing contract negotiations between the San Francisco 49ers and their standout wide receiver, Brandon Aiyuk. However, the NFL insider emphasized one thing: The team is not entertaining trade discussions at this juncture.
Reacting to Aiyuk's decision to unfollow the 49ers on Instagram, Rapoport couldn't help but chuckle at the latest development. This practice has become commonplace among players who are unhappy with their contract situations. Wide receiver Deebo Samuel similarly took this action in 2022 before requesting to be traded just before the draft.
