Jessica Kielpinski brings steady frontcourt production and veteran savvy to New Mexico
Jessica Kielpinski has been a reliable New Mexico forward, with ESPN listing her 2026 season averages at 5.0 points, 5.1 rebounds, and 1.9 assists per game, though her 27.9% field-goal mark suggests the scoring efficiency has been uneven[1]. What makes her interesting is the all-around footprint: she’s not just a rebounder, she’s a connector who can move the ball, and historically she was recognized for leading the Lobos in rebounds, steals, and assists in a previous season[3]. She also carries a strong academic reputation, having been honored by the program for a 3.2 GPA or higher[10].
