San Francisco 49ers Invite Former Wisconsin Badger to Rookie Minicamp

Undrafted free agent signings and tryout opportunities are rolling in following the 2025 NFL Draft. A pair of former Wisconsin football players were selected at the draft hosted by the Green Bay Packers.

The draft itself was among the most disappointing in recent history for the Wisconsin Badgers. Wisconsin only saw two of its former players selected. Neither of the former Badgers were picked before the final round.

However, a handful of players who finished their time in college football are hoping to take the path less traveled onto an NFL roster. Like another Badger that went undrafted a year ago, perhaps one may end up with the San Francisco 49ers.

Wisconsin Football Defensive Lineman Earns Tryout with San Francisco 49ers

Elijah Hills accepted a rookie minicamp invite from the 49ers, according to a social media post by the Badgers. The tryout opportunity comes after the defensive lineman participated in the Tropical Bowl – a postseason all-star game for college football seniors and NFL Draft hopefuls.

“God is good!” said Hills, following the invitation.

The Rockaway, New Jersey native spent his final season of NCAA eligibility in Madison after spending three years with the FCS Albany Great Danes. In his lone season with Wisconsin football, Hills recorded 26 total tackles, led the Badgers with 5.5 tackles for loss, and tied with linebacker Christian Alliegro’s team-high 3.0 sacks.

Hills appeared in all 37 games the Great Danes played during his time with Albany. In his final season at the FCS level, he helped Albany reach the national semifinals by recording nine tackles for loss, three fumble recoveries, and three blocked kicks – all career-highs.

The former Delbarton School product hopes to turn his lone season with the Badgers into a roster spot in San Francisco, like another transfer before him. 49ers general manager John Lynch signed quarterback Tanner Mordecai as an undrafted free agent following the 2024 NFL Draft. Mordecai has spent the past year on the practice squad with San Francisco and has appeared in two preseason games, completing six of ten passes for 103 yards.
