Nakia Mojica brings freshman shot-making juice to NM Highlands
Nakia Mojica is a 5-foot-6 freshman guard for New Mexico Highlands in the 2025-26 season, arriving from Hobbs High after scoring 1,000 career points, earning all-state and all-district honors, and helping Hobbs win the 2023 state title. Her standout differentiator is perimeter value: she reportedly set multiple three-point records in high school, which makes her a spacing threat right away. Early 2025-26 stat lines suggest a low-usage role so far, but the upside is a compact guard who can stretch defenses, compete, and add instant scoring punch.
