BROOKINGS, S.D. - South Dakota State senior
Brooklyn Meyer was recognized with a pair of national awards Wednesday. The Associated Press released its list of All-Americans for the 2025-26 season, with Meyer listed as an honorable mention. Meyer was also named a finalist for Women's Basketball Coaches Association All-America honors.
This is Meyer's second and third national recognition of the week as she was also named an honorable mention All-American by the U.S. Basketball Writers Association on Tuesday.
Meyer averages 22.4 points per game (11th in the NCAA) and has a .646 field goal percentage on the year (fifth in the NCAA). She also leads the Jackrabbits with 8.0 rebounds, 2.7 assists and 1.9 blocks per game in her senior campaign. The first-team all-Summit and all-defensive team pick led the Jackrabbits to a fourth consecutive Summit League Tournament title last week and was named Tournament MVP.Â
Meyer is one of two players in the country averaging more than 20 points per game while shooting better than .600 from the floor this year, joining Iowa State's Audi Crooks to achieve that feat. Since 2009-10, only three other players had shot at least 65% from 2-point range on at least 13 attempts per game before this season (min. 20 games played): Mackenzie Holmes (2022-23), Monika Czinano (2021-22), and Megan Gustafson (2018-19 and 2017-18).
Meyer surpassed 2,000 career points during the opening round of the Summit League Tournament, becoming the third Jackrabbit in program history to reach that milestone. She ranks first in program history for career field goal percentage (.609), third for career blocks (173) and fifth for career rebounds (843).
Meyer and the Jackrabbits, seeded 11th in the NCAA Tournament, will take on the 6-seed Washington at 1:30 p.m. Friday afternoon in Fort Worth, Texas.
