Get to know each member of 49ers undrafted free agent class

The San Francisco 49ers on Sunday officially added eight undrafted free agents to their rookie class for this season.

Their UDFA class is relatively thin in terms of variety. They added a tight end and a punter, three defensive linemen, two wide receivers and a safety. All eight players will hold 90-man roster spots with chances to compete for a place on the 53-man roster, although for many UDFAs just earning a practice squad spot is a good start.

Here's a quick peek at each 49ers undrafted free agent signing:

P Jack Bouwmeester, Texas

Bouwmeester is a former Aussie rules football player who began his college career at Michigan State in 2019. He didn't play for the Spartans and was out of college football until 2022 when he caught on with the University of Utah. In three years with the Utes and one with Texas, he averaged 43.8 yards per punt across 52 games.

TE Khalil Dinkins, Penn State

There's a lot to like about Dinkins as a UDFA addition. He measured in at 6-4, 251 at the NFL combine and clocked a 4.72 40-yard dash. His production wasn't stellar in five college seasons that featured 15 starts in 49 games. He hauled in just 37 receptions. However, he turned those 37 catches into 399 yards and seven touchdowns.

DL Bryson Eason, Tennessee

Eason spent six years in college, all with the Volunteers, but he didn't become a regular contributor until his third season when he began a streak of four years in a row playing in 13 games. Prior to that he participated in only nine contests. In his final 52 games he put together some production with 20 tackles for loss and 4.5 sacks. The fact he wasn't a full-time starter until his fifth college dampens some of the optimism about the strides he made in his final couple of seasons. Eason has good size (6-2, 323 pounds at the combine) and experience which should help him hit the ground running in his first professional training camp.

WR Wesley Grimes, North Carolina State

It'll be a steep uphill climb to a roster spot for Grimes in a crowded 49ers receiver room. He played at Wake Forest for two years before transferring to NC State for two years. He was consistently productive over his final three seasons and finished his career with 77 catches for 1,121 yards and nine touchdowns in 43 games. At 6-2, 194 he has NFL size, but he'll need to prove himself to be a more productive player than he was in college if he's going to ultimately make his way onto a 53-man roster.
