After playing at Fond du Lac High School in Fond du Lac, Wisconsin, Windsor chose Penn State.[1] He committed to Penn State on January 25, 2015,[2] choosing Penn State over other Big Ten schools Wisconsin, Illinois, Minnesota, Maryland and Purdue, who all extended scholarship offers.[3]

During his junior season, Windsor recorded 7.5 sacks.[4] He missed the 2020 Citrus Bowl due to an unspecified violation of team rules.[5]

Prior to his senior season, Windsor was named to the Outland Trophy watchlist.[6] After taking stock of what he deemed a lackluster season part of the way through, Windsor recorded 2.5 sacks against Iowa, with teammates praising him for his work ethic and sacrifices.[7] After his senior season, Windsor was named second-team All-Big Ten Conference.[8]

He also took part in the 2020 Senior Bowl[9] and 2020 NFL Combine.[10]
