High school career

Dylan grew up in Indianapolis, Indiana, where he attended Perry Meridian High School. In addition to basketball, Windler excelled at golf and participated in various junior golf tournaments. In the summer of 2014, Windler was selected to play for the Indiana Elite AAU team alongside future Virginia player Kyle Guy.

College career

Windler played at Belmont University in Nashville, Tennessee. As a freshman, Windler played a reserve role, averaging around 4.3 points per game. His following sophomore year, he took on a starting guard position and became an outside threat with a 39.8% three-point completion rate, averaging 9.2 points per game.[3] Windler's junior year was a breakout season with 17.3 points per game, 9.3 rebounds per game, and shooting over 45 % from three. He had a career-high 36-point, 20-rebound game against Morehead State on February 17, 2018. He was named to the First-Team All-OVC. Coming into his senior season, Windler was named to the 2019 Julius Erving Award Watch List.[4] Windler broke his career-high in points with 41, including a career-high eight 3-pointers, along with 10 rebounds and three steals in a 96-86 win against Morehead State on February 10, 2019.[5] As a senior, he scored 21.3 points per game and collected 10.8 rebounds per game, helping Belmont qualify for the NCAA tournament as an at-large. In a win over Temple, Windler had five points, 14 rebounds, and two assists and three steals. The Belmont Bruins faced off against the Maryland Terrapins in the NCAA Tournament Round of 64.
