The San Francisco 49ers will work out quarterback Jack Plummer, the reigning UFL MVP, on Wednesday, according to KPRC 2’s Aaron Wilson. Plummer also has a workout scheduled with the Miami Dolphins next week, per Wilson
Plummer, who led the Orlando Storm to an 8-2 record as a starter in 2026, threw for 2,189 yards and 17 touchdowns against just one interception, completing 65% of his passes for a 104.2 rating. He added 189 yards and two scores on the ground, capping a UFL season that made him one of the most productive quarterbacks in the league
The 26-year-old is a well-traveled college veteran, having played at Purdue, California and Louisville. His final season at Louisville in 2023 was his most productive collegiate campaign, throwing for 3,204 yards and 21 touchdowns. Across his college career, Plummer completed 64.1 percent of his passes for 9,728 yards, 68 touchdowns and 31 interceptions in 47 games
After going undrafted in 2024, Plummer spent some time on the Carolina Panthers, bouncing between the practice squad and the active roster before being waived ahead of the 2025 season. He is not related to former NFL quarterback Jake Plummer, who spent 10 seasons with the Arizona Cardinals and Denver Broncos
Should San Francisco bring Plummer into training camp, he would be competing for a roster spot behind starter Brock Purdy in a quarterback room that currently includes Mac Jones, Adrian Martinez and Kurtis Rourke. Jones is likely the QB2, meaning Plummer would effectively be fighting for the QB3 role with Martinez and Rourke
However, if Jones is traded away before the season, Plummer may have a better path to a roster spot behind Purdy and one of the other quarterbacks
