Glenn Winston (born April 29, 1989) is an American former professional football player who was a running back in the National Football League (NFL). He played college football for the Michigan State Spartans and Northwood Timberwolves. He was signed by the San Francisco 49ers as an undrafted free agent in 2014 and has also played for the Cleveland Browns.
Winston attended Michigan State University for two years, before being dismissed from the team for violation of team rules.[1][2] Winston had been involved in two on-campus altercations. The first occurred in October 2008, where he assaulted Michigan State hockey player A. J. Sturges, leaving him seriously injured[3] and unable to play hockey for two years. The second occurred in December 2009 along with other teammates in a brawl at Michigan State's Rather Hall.[4] He was later sentenced to six months in jail for the Sturges incident.[5][6] In 2013, Winston enrolled at Northwood University.[7][8] In his lone season at Northwood he rushed for 717 yards and nine touchdowns in eight games.
