Hey Bryan,
That is probably the cabbage worm.

Take a look. _cabbage worm - Google Search_

A good spraying with "BT worm killer" (bacillus thuringiensis) will do
the trick and next time do it as a preventive measure. Check the link below
for more info. It is thought to be the more benign pest control and when
the worms ingest it get a tummy ache and stop feeding and die of starvation.

Hopes this helps. We also use this early in the season on tomato plants
to prevent the tomato fruit worm which burrows into young, tomato fruits.
Same for the corn ear worm.
