She was named a First Team NFCA All-American, receiving her first NFCA Division II First Team Honor. Additionally, she was listed on the Fall 2022 and Spring 2023 LSC Commissioner's Honor Roll.
Before joining TWU, LeBlanc transferred from Texas A&M Commerce and attended Katy High School, where she played varsity softball all four years. She was a three-time District MVP and earned All-State and All-District honors throughout her high school career. As a senior, she hit .448 and posted an ERA of 0.81 in the circle, appearing in the 2019 State Championships and being named the 2019 State MVP.
After high school, she played softball at Texas A&M-Commerce, helping lead the Lions to the 2022 Lone Star Conference Championship title. In 2021, she was named First Team All-LSC and made the LSC All-Freshman Team. In 2022, she received First Team All-LSC honors and was named the LSC Tournament MVP. She was also recognized on the NFCA and D2CCA All-South Central Region Second Team, throwing two no-hitters and starting 49 of 50 games played on the mound for the Pioneers.
