Linebacker Ben Boulware, who was the was animated and emotional leader of Clemson's national championship defense last year, is visiting the 49ers, according to a league source. If he passes a physical, he likely will become the 10th and final member of the practice squad.
Boulware was signed by the Carolina Panthers -- who will visit Santa Clara on Sunday -- as an undrafted free agent and was released on Saturday.
Boulware won the Jack Lambert Award last season as the nation’s top linebacker, and he was the co-MVP of the national championship game against Alabama along with quarterback Deshaun Watson.
