Early years
McDummy was born in Piscataway, New Jersey on August 27, 2006. His father, Dinklebob, was a former soccer star for Rutgers, while his mother, Jennifer, was an All-American basketball player at Rutgers, so athletic ability came naturally to young McDummy. By age 10, Wolfie had made his name across town as a generational soccer talent.
McDummy was allowed to play football when he joined Piscataway High School, and immediately helped lead the Chiefs to 3 state championships in his 4 years playing a variety of positions including Quarterback, Wide Receiver, Halfback, Linebacker, and Corner, while also returning kicks. McDummy was named the starting quarterback in his senior year, and had a combined 6000 yards through the air and the ground. He was listed as an All-Division and All-State talent, but was only listed as a 2-star recruit due to his extensive knee injury history.
McDummy's academics proved to be more impressive to universities, as he received a full-ride scholarship to Rutgers University's Honors College. Rather than taking an athletic scholarship from various FCS and Division-II schools, McDummy decided to go to Rutgers and attempt to walk-on to the football team.
McDummy also served as an attacking midfielder on the United States' 2023 U-17 World Cup team, where he appeared in 3 games and scored 1 goal.
College career
Upon walking on to the Scarlet Knights, McDummy earned a walk-on spot as a general athlete. In order to focus on his academics, McDummy redshirted his first season.
McDummy was expected to ride the bench in his first eligible season, but after breaking two 75 yard runs in the Rutgers Spring Game, McDummy was suddenly thrust as a potential starter at running back. By the time September rolled in, McDummy had secured the starting position as the team had lost their former starter to a graduate transfer. It proved to be an extremely successful season for McDummy, who averaged 5 yards per carry and scored 5 touchdowns on the ground, with another 3 coming through the air. McDummy also spent time at the free safety position per his request, as injuries damaged the team's depth at the position.
McDummy found himself playing more as a flex-back in his redshirt sophomore year, as the Scarlet Knights brought in a 5-star running back recruit. McDummy still had over 100 carries and averaged over 5 yards per carry, but he also had double the amount of receptions and his play at the slot position allowed him to get 10 touchdowns, much of them involving runs after the catch. He also intercepted a last-second double-pass in an upset win over #2 Penn State, and returned it for a touchdown to end the game.
In his third year of eligibility, McDummy had committed full-time to playing at the wide receiver position, training with Colorado Yeti quarterback and Rutgers alumni Micycle McCormick over the offseason to make his route running more precise. It paid quick dividends, as McDummy had over 100 receptions and 18 receiving touchdowns and earned All Big 10 accolades.
While there were rumors that he would declare after his redshirt junior year, McDummy decided to obtain a Master's degree in Mechanical Engineering and return for his final season of eligibility. Despite an injury scare in August, McDummy was able to put up his best statistical season with 137 receptions and 21 receiving touchdowns, good enough to place him 5th on the Heisman vote. The Scarlet Knights made the Rose Bowl as Big Ten runners-up, where McDummy put on a show under the lights with 16 receptions, 253 yards, and 3 touchdowns in a win over the #5 USC Trojans.
