She said she'll always be a Gator fan, but soon Nicki Meyer is going to be a Yellow Jacket after she committed to Georgia Tech.
Meyer, a 5-foot-6 libero from Gainesville Buchholz High School, is the daughter of Florida football coach Urban Meyer. She has been a fixture at as many of her father's games as her volleyball schedule has allowed in recent years.
In an interview with the Gainesville Sun, she joked that selecting the Yellow Jackets was OK because "at least it's in the ACC, not the SEC."
She also had scholarship offers from Ohio University (the only other visit she took), South Florida and childhood favorite Utah.
"I'm really proud to have her accept a scholarship offer from Georgia Tech to play volleyball," said Urban Meyer.

I heard Rush Limbaugh talking about those "liberos". He didn't like them much.

From Wiki:
Libero is an Italian word meaning "free". It can also refer to:
Libero (football), a more versatile type of centre back in football (soccer)
Libero (volleyball), a player specialized in defensive skills in volleyball
Mitsubishi Libero, the Japanese market name of the Mitsubishi Lancer wagon
a brand of diapers marketed by Svenska Cellulosa Aktiebolaget
Libero, an Italian, daily, newspaper
I'm guessing she's a free newspaper used as a diaper in a car with defensive skills in the centre back.

Can she play DT?

It doesn't list her playing weight, but at 5'6" she would have to be awfully round to play dt. I'm just guessin' really.
