Brooklyn Meyer Stays at South Dakota State, Switching to Volleyball for Fifth Season

The move fills a middle-blocker need for a program coming off back-to-back NCAA bids.

Overview

  • South Dakota State said Friday that Meyer will return in the fall to play one season of volleyball as a middle blocker.
  • An NCAA rule permits athletes who finish eligibility in one sport to play a fifth season in another, enabling her move from basketball.
  • Coach Dan Georgalas said the team had one open middle spot after two graduations and called Meyer a physical, ready fit with volleyball experience.
  • Meyer closed her basketball career with 2,097 points and the 2025–26 Becky Hammon Mid-Major Player of the Year award after averaging 22.6 points and 8.1 rebounds.
  • She will pursue a master’s in nutrition and dietetics at SDSU this year and could explore overseas basketball opportunities after the season.
