Background
Early life
Wishnowsky was born on 3 March 1992 in Gosnells, Western Australia, a suburb of Perth. He was a student of Lumen Christi College from 2005 to 2009. He grew up playing Australian rules football, but was forced to give up the sport at age 18 due to repeated shoulder injuries. He played for Perth in the WAFL Reserves. By that time, he had dropped out of secondary school at age 16 to become a glazier.
Although no longer playing full-contact Australian rules, he continued to play a flag version of the sport alongside several friends, one of whom had a connection to Prokick Australia, a training centre in Melbourne that converts Australian rules players into gridiron football punters. He left his job and moved across the country in 2013 to enroll in Prokick, spending a year there. By that time, Utah had brought in earlier Prokick graduate Tom Hackett, and were pleased enough with him that they reached an agreement with Prokick director Nathan Chapman to leave a scholarship open for Wishnowsky once Hackett's Utah career ended after the 2015 season. Since Wishnowsky needed time to secure NCAA eligibility, he enrolled in and punted for Santa Barbara City College in 2014 and redshirted in 2015, remaining in Santa Barbara to complete his associate degree and conserve NCAA eligibility.
College career
Wishnowsky played college football for the Santa Barbara City Vaqueros and Utah Utes. He won the Ray Guy Award and was a unanimous All-American in 2016, finishing second in FBS in punting average (47.7 yards) and first in punts downed inside the opponent's 10-yard line (17). Wishnowsky's 2017 season was only slightly less successful, with a 43.9-yard punting average and 10 punts downed inside the 10.
Personal life
Wishnowsky and his wife Maddie have a daughter.
