Wooten dished out 177 dimes and capped her sophomore campaign as one of seven players in college basketball to post an assist-to-turnover ratio of 2.5 or better on at least 170 assists. She led the Cowgirls in assists in both 2024-25 and 2025-26.<br \/>\n\u00a0<br \/>\nFor her career, Wooten has 23 games with at least five assists to her name.

She tallied a career-best 26 points opposite Miami on Nov. 29.<br \/>\n\u00a0<br \/>\nHer first career double-double arrived one week later, as Wooten paired a career-high 13 assists with 12 points in a victory against Mississippi Valley State.<br \/>\n\u00a0<br \/>\nA consensus four-star recruit in the class of 2024, Wooten enjoyed a decorated prep career at Blue Valley High School.
