Fred Warner

Fred Warner's journey into the NFL began when he was selected by the 49ers in the 2018 NFL Draft, marking the start of an extraordinary career.

Hailing from San Marcos, California, Warner played college football at BYU, where he displayed one of the most impressive careers in school history.

Transitioning to the professional level, Warner has solidified himself as a top linebacker and tone-setter who pushes and prods teammates on both sides of the ball to be better. His leadership qualities are widely acknowledged, with 49ers General Manager John Lynch praising Warner as a team captain whose energy and leadership are inspiring for the entire team.

A three-time Pro Bowler and three-time First Team All-Pro player, Warner has established himself as one of the best defensive players in the league, leading the 49ers in tackles every season since joining the team in 2018. His peers have consistently voted him onto the prestigious NFL Top 100 list for four consecutive years, a testament to his impact and skill. Warner’s performance in Super Bowl LVIII, where he recorded a team-leading 13 total tackles despite the 49ers' overtime loss to the Chiefs, further solidified his reputation.

Off the field, Warner is known for his commitment to family and community. Married to influencer and former Bachelor contestant Sydney Hightower, the couple recently became parents to their first child, Beau.
