Former Oregon State football player Jack Colletto has signed an undrafted free agent contract with the San Francisco 49ers.
Colletto announced the signing Saturday afternoon on Twitter.
Colletto was the most versatile player in college football last season, winning the Paul Hornung Award.
Colletto, 6-3 and 240 pounds, is from Camas, Washington, and played five seasons with Oregon State.
In 43 games with the Beavers, Colletto rushed for 401 yards and 22 touchdowns, caught four passes for 37 yards and a touchdown, passed for 254 yards, and had 51 tackles and an interception on defense.
Colletto was virtually unstoppable in short-yardage situations.
He’s joining a 49ers team that went 13-4 last season and reached the NFC championship game.
San Francisco head coach Kyle Shanahan runs a creative, run-heavy offense, and probably wants to see if Colletto is a good fit in short-yardage situations. Colletto also could help the defense and special teams.
