During summer training camp in August 2012, Wormley sustained a torn anterior cruciate ligament, did not play during the 2012 season, and received a medical redshirt.[3][4] As a redshirt freshman in 2013, he appeared in 13 games as a backup defensive lineman.

During the 2016 season, Wormley recorded 39 tackles, with nine tackles-for-loss, and finished second on the team with six sacks.[13]
