Wimberly was the #17 ranked recruit coming out of high school. He stays in state as he is originally from Prosper, Texas. He entered the portal just after the 2025 NCAA Championships alongside All-American Baylor Nelson. Nelson has not announced his intentions for the upcoming season yet.
Wimberly swam at NCAAs as a relay-only swimmer splitting a 42.36 to help the team to a 14th place finish in the 400 free. At SECs, Wimberly swam personal best times in two of his three individual events. His highest finished was 13th as he swam a 1:32.86 200 free. He also finished 23rd in the 200 fly in a 1:44.07 and a 1:44.16 season best in prelims of the 200 IM for 16th. He also time trialed the 100 free posting a 43.40, a personal best.

The team had double digit numbers in the transfer portal including eight athletes on day 1. Among those to transfer out of the program include Jeremy Kelly who has a similar lineup to Wimberly but has best times of 1:34.79 in the 200 free and 43.43 in the 100 free. Kelly announced he will transfer to Notre Dame.
Based on his best times, Wimberly would have been #6 on the team this past season in the 200 free while his 100 free would have been 9th.
The Texas men captured the 2025 NCAA Championship and were led by Hubert Kos who followed 1st year head coach Bob Bowman after Bowman led the Arizona State men to an NCAA Championship in 2024. Wimberly has the potential to fill some relay spots as three of the four relay legs at NCAAs in the 800 free will have graduated by this fall. Chris Guiliano and Luke Hobson just finished their senior seasons while Coby Carrozza just finished his 5th year.
