The 49ers are expected to have the two top college linebackers from a year ago within the organization by the end of the day on Tuesday.
Former Clemson linebacker Ben Boulware is visiting the 49ers on Tuesday. If Boulware passes a physical, the expectation is he will sign to fill out the 49ers’ 10-man practice squad, a source told NBC Sports Bay Area.
Boulware was named the winner of the 2016 Jack Lambert Award as college football’s top linebacker.
The Dick Butkus Award, which another organization gives to the top collegiate linebacker, went to former Alabama star Reuben Foster.
