Lesley Varner II brings proven scoring, rebounding, and two-way edge to UTRGV
Varner is a high-usage, older wing who has already shown he can carry a college offense, with a career track record of efficient scoring and active rebounding for UTRGV. In his final UTRGV season, ESPN listed him at 9.0 points and 4.2 rebounds per game over 30 games, while program history notes he totaled 1,182 points and led the Vaqueros in scoring 13 times, including a 17.8-point, 6.3-rebound, 1.6-steal stretch in 2019-20. He stands out for physicality, production, and competitive toughness, making him a fit for teams needing a ready-made, experienced forward.[3][9][6]
