The San Francisco 49ers are bringing in reigning UFL MVP quarterback Jack Plummer for a workout this Wednesday. This dude led the Orlando Storm to an impressive 8-2 record as a starter in 2026, and now he’s getting an NFL shot. Plummer also has another workout lined up with the Miami Dolphins next week, which tells you the buzz is real.
This Guy’s Stats Are Seriously Wild
We’re talking about a UFL season where Plummer absolutely cooked it: 2,189 passing yards, 17 touchdowns, and just one interception. He completed 65% of his passes for a 104.2 rating, showing some serious accuracy. Oh, and he’s not just a pocket passer either. He tacked on 189 rushing yards and two scores on the ground. That kind of production made him one of the most effective quarterbacks in the entire UFL. It’s easy to see why NFL teams are taking notice after a dominant run like that.
From College Journeyman to Pro Contender
Plummer’s journey has been a winding one. The 26-year-old is a true college veteran, having suited up for Purdue, California, and Louisville. His final year at Louisville in 2023 was his best, dropping 3,204 yards and 21 touchdowns. Over his whole college career, he threw for 9,728 yards, 68 touchdowns, and 31 interceptions, completing 64.1 percent of his passes across 47 games. After going undrafted in 2024, he bounced around the Carolina Panthers’ practice squad and active roster before getting waived before the 2025 season. He’s not related to Jake Plummer, by the way, just in case you were wondering.
Bringing Plummer into training camp means he’s fighting for a spot behind starter Brock Purdy. The 49ers’ current quarterback room includes Mac Jones, Adrian Martinez, and Kurtis Rourke. If Jones is indeed their QB2, then Plummer is battling Martinez and Rourke for that third string spot. But hey, if Jones gets traded before the season, Plummer’s path to the active roster could open up big time. This isn’t just a tryout; it’s a real chance for this UFL MVP to make some noise and solidify his NFL future.
