Kharley Smith Kharley Smith 5'11" | MB/OH State TX is one of those players whose growth curve jumps off the page when you see her compete live. Currently ranked No. 110 in the 2027 class by Prep Dig Texas, that number may not reflect where she’s trending after her recent tournament showing. At 5’11”, she plays much bigger than her listed height, elevating quickly and contacting the ball high with heavy pace off her arm. Her leaping ability allows her to challenge longer blockers and still score cleanly, particularly when she’s isolated on the right pin. What separates her is her aggressive scorer’s mentality as she wants the ball and doesn’t hesitate when the moment calls for a big swing. At the net defensively, she competes hard against opposing left sides, pressing over well and battling with strong hands. Kharley carries herself with visible confidence and clearly understands her role within the system. She is explosive in every sense of the word from her approach to her block moves and that burst shows up consistently throughout her play. As she continues refining her shot selection and expanding her offensive range, her ceiling as a physical right-side attacker looks very promising.

Playing for Red Oak High School and Drive Nation 15 Red, Smith impressed to the point that she was selected as the 14th-best player in the position and 66th overall prospect in Texas in the class of 2027. Her physicality and pure power are nearly unmatched in her age group and create the platform for her strong game at the net. Offensively, Smith manages to outpower her opponents with little effort, jumping well and spinning her arm to beat blockers and defenders. She’s also very aggressive with her blocking, doing whatever it takes to get in the way of opposing hitters and force them out or right into her team’s defenders.
