The San Francisco 49ers announced the signing of long snapper Colin Holba, who previously spent two seasons (2018–19) with the team, to a one-year deal. The move comes a day after the 49ers placed long snapper Taybor Pepper on the reserve/COVID-19 list.
San Francisco also activated tight end Charlie Woerner from the reserve/COVID-19 list, where he had been since December 19.
The 49ers Communications staff provided the following rundown.
Holba (6-4, 248) was originally drafted by the Pittsburgh Steelers in the sixth round (213th overall) of the 2017 NFL Draft. Throughout his three-year career with the Jaguars (2017), 49ers (2018-19), and New York Giants (2019), he has appeared in 18 career games. Holba was signed to the Los Angeles Rams practice squad on December 9, 2020.
A 26-year-old native of Louisville, KY, Holba attended the University of Louisville. In four years with the Cardinals (2013-16), he appeared in 26 games and served as the primary long snapper during his junior and senior seasons, registering three special teams tackles.
