Biography:
Last season Winkles was one of the few bright spots for the Upson Lee Knights. Despite going 3-7, Winkles still tallied 83 tackles, 5 sacks and 6 forced fumbles. He earned 1st Team All-State honors and he was also an All-Region selection on both sides of the football (fullback and linebacker).
Winkles spent a majority of his high school career playing Tight End and Middle Linebacker. At this point, most recruiting analysts see Winkles landing at the Fullback position at the next level, even though ESPN still lists him primarily as a Linebacker. Scout has Logan ranked as the #10 Fullback in the '09 class.
This athletic young man runs a 4.7 40-time and has a 31 inch vertical leap. What stands out the most about Winkles is his strength. He squats 480lbs, bench presses 330lbs and cleans 310lbs.

Will probably see some single tight end with a motion HB open up holes at he 7 gap and create miss matches in the passing game by flooding a zone.
Im sorry but the two scouting crews at Scout and Rivals have missed one here. I understand that this is just a highlight tape but this guy is gonna be a stud!
My favorite thing Mr. Winkles said after he committed to us (and yes I called him Mr!!):
"I don't have a problem with playing fullback at all. Lining up and hitting the crap out of someone five yards away sounds good to me."
