Lobo women’s basketball player Otto doesn’t let diabetes stop her

High-energy and high-maintenance: Jannon Otto is both.

The former description is obvious to anyone who spends time around the freshman guard for the University of New Mexico women’s basketball team. Otto is in nonstop motion on the court; upbeat and gregarious off it.

Such liveliness serves her well.

Otto came to New Mexico off a superb high school career in Northern California. She eclipsed 2,300 points and 1,100 rebounds at Victorville’s Oak Hills High, twice earning High Desert League Player of the Year honors. ESPNW rated her as the 16th best wing in the 2015 recruiting class with a 90-point rating on a scale of 100.
