COLLEGE
Khari Jaxon’s NCAA college career was at the University of New Mexico, where he played for the Lobos from 1990–91 through 1992–93 after sitting out the 1989–90 season before debuting.
Across three active seasons at New Mexico, Jaxon appeared in 89 games with 76 starts and averaged 9.7 points, 6.4 rebounds, 0.9 assists, 1.2 steals, and 2.5 blocks per game while shooting 59.3% from the field, finishing with 862 points, 572 rebounds, 84 assists, 107 steals, and 220 blocks.
Jaxon’s production spiked as an upperclassman, starting every game in both 1991–92 and 1992–93 and posting back-to-back seasons of 7.4 rebounds per game, while also averaging 3.3 blocks per game in 1991–92 and 2.8 blocks per game in 1992–93.
He earned major league recognition in the Western Athletic Conference, being a two-time All-WAC selection, including a 1992–93 All-WAC First Team selection after averaging 11.5 points, 7.4 rebounds, 1.4 assists, 1.5 steals, and 2.8 blocks per game as a senior.
Defensively, Jaxon ranks third in New Mexico program history for career blocks with 220, and his 1991–92 season total of 109 blocks sits as the No. 2 single-season mark in school history, with his 1992–93 total of 88 blocks also listed among the program’s top single-season block years.
Jaxon was also one of the most efficient finishers in the Lobos’ modern record books, with his 63.3% field-goal percentage in 1991–92 appearing in New Mexico’s season field-goal percentage leader lists.
In 1992–93, Jaxon was a senior starter on a New Mexico team that went 24–7 overall and 13–5 in WAC play, and he also played in the NCAA tournament during his time with the Lobos, with Sports-Reference listing NCAA tournament game logs for 1990–91 and 1992–93.
