Idaho State’s rim-protecting anchor with real defensive juice
In the 2025-26 season, Evan Otten emerged as one of the Big Sky’s most disruptive interior defenders, leading the conference in blocks for the second straight year while averaging 4.6 points, 3.8 rebounds, and 1.8 blocks per game for Idaho State. He was named to the Big Sky All-Defensive Team and finished with 56 blocks, a marker that underscored his shot-blocking instincts, length, and ability to erase mistakes behind the perimeter. If your team wants a hard-playing, defense-first big who changes shots and brings plus rim protection, Otten absolutely has a role.
