LeVariya Pinder LeVariya Pinder 5'11" | RS Justin Northwest | 2026 State #32 Nation TX is the kind of player that makes you do a double take the first time you see her compete. Versatile, physical, and relentless, she is one of the most dynamic pin hitters in the entire 18 Open division — and one of the biggest reasons Dallas Skyline is a genuine national title contender heading into Reno.

Ranked 37th nationally by PrepDig and 12th in the state of Texas in her class, Pinder has been putting up numbers that turn heads at every level. She led the entire Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex with 5.4 kills per set during her high school season — a stat that tells you everything you need to know about what she brings offensively. Over her high school career she has accumulated over 1,800 kills with a .300 hitting percentage, setting Northwestern High School records in kills per set and kills in a season along the way.

What makes her so difficult to defend is her ability to play multiple positions at the highest level. Whether she’s attacking out of the middle or working the pins, she threads the needle with some of the hardest swings in the country. She doesn’t just score — she scores in big moments, which is exactly what separates good players from great ones.

A First Team All-District honoree, AVCA All-Region selection, and now SMU signee, Pinder arrives at Nationals with every tool she needs to be one of the most impactful players on the floor in Reno.

Pinder was part of the Dallas Skyline 17 Royal – Pin side that ended the event in second place with a campaign of six wins and three losses. In a division with towering middles, she used different weapons to stand out, relying on her athleticism and quickness to thrive. Pinder battled neck and neck with players considerably taller than her and made a big impact on both sides of the ball, using her quickness to beat opposing blockers and to get stops at the net. She also displayed a very impressive all-around game and stayed on the court during the back row rotations, helping in serve-receive and playing defense.
