Notre Dame 2015–2016 As a freshman in 2015, Wimbush appeared in two games as a backup to
DeShone Kizer. In 2016, he took a
redshirt season.
2017 With Kizer in the NFL, Wimbush took over as Notre Dame's starting quarterback in 2017 as a redshirt sophomore. In his first start for the Fighting Irish, Wimbush threw for 184 yards, two passing touchdowns, and an interception against
Temple. He also gained 106 yards on the ground and had a rushing touchdown in the game. Two weeks later, he had 207 rushing yards and four rushing touchdowns to go along with 96 passing yards in a 49–20 victory over
Boston College. Wimbush had 110 rushing yards and a career-high 280 passing yards against
Wake Forest on November 4. In Notre Dame's
bowl game against
LSU, Wimbush was benched in the second quarter in favor of backup
Ian Book, who led Notre Dame to a come-from-behind victory, 21–17.
2018 Wimbush again started for Notre Dame in the 2018 season. Although, after a shaky start to the beginning of the season, backup Ian Book took over in Week 4. Wimbush relieved an injured Ian Book against Florida State later in the season in what would be his last game for Notre Dame.
