The San Francisco 49ers announced Monday that they have signed three-year NFL veteran LB Colby Bockwoldt. In addition, the 49ers announced that Mark Nori as been added to head coach Mike Nolan’s staff as offensive assistant/offensive line.
Bockwoldt (6-2, 237) previously played with the New Orleans Saints in 2004 and 2005 and with the Tennessee Titans in 2006. He has played in 48 NFL games and accumulated 156 tackles.
Originally a seventh-round draft choice of the New Orleans Saints in 2004 out of Brigham Young, Bockwoldt earned the starting weakside linebacker position with seven games remaining as a rookie in 2004. In 2005 he started all 16 games and finished with 93 total tackles and 11 special teams tackles.
Last season Bockwoldt went to training camp with New Orleans but was waived prior to the start of the regular season. Claimed and awarded to the Tennessee Titans, Bockwoldt played in all 16 games as a reserve linebacker and special teams player, finishing with a team-high 20 special teams tackles and seven tackles on defense.
Nori joins the 49ers after spending the last three seasons as the tight ends/tackles coach for the University of Akron (2004-2006). He spent the 2003 season at Maine as the offensive line coach following an offensive graduate assistant position at Pittsburgh in 2002. Nori graduated from Boston College in 1996 where he was a first-team All-Big East offensive lineman. He spent parts of four seasons (1997-2000) playing in the NFL with Pittsburgh, Jacksonville and the New York Giants.
