Defensive tackle DeForest Buckner, 25, married his wife Ashlyn Buckner in 2018 and the pair are expecting the birth of their first baby this spring.
Buckner — who stands 2m tall — will now compete alongside his former college roommate Arik Armstead at Super Bowl 54. And it was at college, just as he was about to enter his senior year, that he met his future wife. Introduced by Buckner’s friend Shane, who like Ashlyn was on the cheer team at Oregon, the pair immediately hit it off.
The relationship could easily have come to a premature end when Buckner entered the NFL draft, with Ashlyn making it clear that she wouldn’t move her life east of Texas for him, with the pair having not dated for that long at the time.The pair wed last year, with DeForest describing his emotions from the big day to the 49ers’ website by saying: “I knew I was going to cry because I’m soft with that kind of stuff, but it was pretty bad.
