The San Francisco 49ers have announced the signing of defensive back Jarnor Jones to the team's practice squad. To make room for the addition, they have released linebacker Ben Boulware, who was officially signed to the 49ers practice squad seven days ago.

Jones (6-3, 209) was originally signed by the Atlanta Falcons as an undrafted free agent on May 1 and later waived by the team on September 1. He spent two seasons (2015-2016) at Iowa State University after stops at North Carolina State University (2012-13) and Georgia Military College (2014).

With the Iowa State University, he appeared in 24 games, had 11 starts, and registered 78 tackles, 11 passes defensed, three sacks, and one interception.

Boulware was originally signed as an undrafted free agent out of Clemson by the Carolina Panthers following the draft. He saw limited action during the preseason and had just one tackle for Carolina during that time. Boulware was released by the Panthers on September 2.

In 2016, Boulware led the Tigers with 131 tackles in 14 starts while recording 11.5 tackles for loss and four sacks. It was enough to be named the Jack Lambert Award winner. The two-year starter for Clemson recorded 352 tackles, 26 for a loss, 8.5 sacks, five interceptions, 41 quarterback pressures, 10 passes defensed, six forced fumbles, and four fumble recoveries over 53 games and 31 starts during his college career.

Boulware was named the defensive MVP for the Tigers in the 2017 College Football Playoff National Championship.
