Former Nebraska wide receiver Isaiah Neyor has signed an undrafted free agent deal with the San Francisco 49ers after the 2025 NFL Draft. Neyor transferred to Nebraska last offseason after spending two years at Texas and two at Wyoming.
In his lone campaign with the Cornhuskers, Neyor made 12 appearances and nine starts. He tallied 34 catches for 455 yards and five touchdowns. Neyor had his best performance of the season in Nebraska’s 31-24 loss to Illinois when he recorded four catches for 90 yards and two scores.
Neyor suffered an injury during fall camp in 2022, his first year at Texas, and missed the season. Neyor saw limited action for the Longhorns in 2023, only recording one catch for 14 yards.
Neyor’s true freshman season at Wyoming in 2020 was shortened due to COVID-19. However, in 2021, Neyor had a career year, notching 44 catches for 878 yards and 12 touchdowns. For his efforts, he was named an All-Mountain West Second-Team selection.
Isaiah Neyor played high school football at Lamar (TX), where he was a three-star prospect. He was the No. 2,739 overall prospect and the No. 368 wide receiver in the 2020 recruiting cycle, according to the On3 Industry Ranking, a weighted average that utilizes all four major recruiting media companies.
What NFL Draft analysts are saying about Isaiah Neyor
Although Neyor ultimately didn’t hear his named called during the 2025 NFL Draft, he was a standout at the NFL Scouting Combine. The 6-foot-4 wideout ran a 4.4-second 40-yard dash with a 1.51-second 10-yard split.
Additionally, Neyor recorded a 38-inch vertical jump and an 11-foot broad jump. His athleticism score ranked second among all receivers at the NFL Scouting Combine. Ahead of the 2025 NFL Draft, NFL.com’s Lance Zierlein provided an in-depth analysis of Neyor’s game.
“Height, weight, speed prospect who finished five years of college with just two seasons of double-digit catches,” Zierlein wrote. “Neyor is a long-strider with the ability to separate in his stems and turns. His nearly seven-foot wingspan is on display with catch-radius grabs, but he lacks the toughness and hand strength to finish when contested. His blend of size, speed and separation potential is valuable, but his skill level still needs to be developed, which could make him a practice squad candidate.”
