The most famous alumni of Florida State Volleyball, Gabrielle Reece has gone on to pursue a career in the sport she loves. A Lady Seminole from 1987-90, Reece quickly established herself as a force on the volleyball court. She holds the FSU career and single season record for solo blocks (240 and 69) as well as the career record for total blocks (747). She garnered AVCA All-Region honors in 1989 and was a Metro All-Conference selection in 1989 and 1990. As a junior, Reece was named to the Metro All-Tournament Team after helping to lead Florida State to the Metro Conference Championship. Reece did not go unnoticed nationally either. She was pegged the 1989 Dodge National Athletics Awards Most Inspiring Collegiate Athlete and was among Rolling Stone Magazine Wonder Women of Sports that same year. Reece went on to play professional volleyball as the captain of Team Nike for the Bud Light four-women beach volleyball tour. In addition to her playing career, Reece is also a supermodel, Nike spokesperson and television celebrity. She has served as co-host for a popular MTV sport television show and had her own syndicated show, "The Extremist," on CBS. Reece was chosen as on of the five most beautiful women in the world by Elle Magazine and was among People Magazine's 50 most beautiful people. She recently added author to her resume. Reece co-authored her first book entitled "Big Girl in the Middle," which was released in the summer of 1997.
