The San Francisco 49ers have selected defensive lineman Gracen Halton<\/a> from the University of Oklahoma with the 107th-overall pick in the 2026 NFL Draft.<\/p>\n

Halton played four seasons for the Sooners and emerged as one of the team’s most disruptive defensive linemen during his final two seasons. A 2025 team captain, he earned SEC Defensive Lineman of the Week honors and All-SEC Second Team honors after totaling 33 tackles, 7.0 tackles for loss, and 3.5 sacks, while adding a team-high seven quarterback hurries and a fumble recovery returned for a touchdown. Across his career, Halton totaled 84 tackles, 16.5 tackles for loss, and 9.5 sacks.<\/p>\n

At the NFL Combine<\/a>, Halton impressed scouts with his quick first step, lateral agility, and ability to break through gaps as a pass rusher. Standing at 6’2 and 293 pounds, he ran a 4.82 40-yard dash and recorded a 36.5-inch vertical jump. His explosiveness stood out among his position group, ranking third among defensive tackles in the broad jump (9-foot-6) and posting the top vertical at the position.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The San Francisco 49ers have selected defensive lineman Gracen Halton from the University of Oklahoma with the 107th-overall…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":286528,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[30],"tags":[62931,113115,122093,51513,57121,809,810,119417,808,93300,100,93299,101,103,102,104,106,105],"class_list":["post-286527","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-san-francisco","tag-2026-draft","tag-2026-draft-news","tag-2026-draft-round-4","tag-brooke-evans","tag-draft","tag-english","tag-english-articles","tag-gracen-halton","tag-latest-app","tag-netapp","tag-news","tag-news-draft","tag-san-francisco","tag-san-francisco-headlines","tag-san-francisco-news","tag-sf","tag-sf-headlines","tag-sf-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/286527","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=286527"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/286527\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/286528"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=286527"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=286527"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=286527"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
