Coming out of high school in 2013, Hammond was the No. 70 overall recruit per InterMat. He went 29-7 as an unattached wrestler in 2013-14, which was his redshirt year for the Nittany Lions. In the 2014-15 season, he was the starter at 165 pounds, going 23-12. Hammond missed out on an at-large berth for the NCAA tournament after failing to place in the Big Ten tournament, even though his ranking position was such that he likely earned a qualifying spot for the conference. This past season, he went 19-3 competing in open tournaments as a backup, also at 165 pounds.
