Me’Arah O’Neal, the daughter and youngest child of NBA legend Shaquille O’Neal, has committed to play for the Florida women’s basketball team in the 2024-25 season.
O’Neal, a four-star recruit from Episcopal High in Houston, chose Florida over her dad’s alma mater and the reigning NCAA national champion, LSU. She announced her commitment to the Gators’ program on an Instagram Live video Sunday, popping a balloon filled with blue, green and orange confetti while donning a blue Gators T-Shirt.
“I will be committing to the University of Florida,” O’Neal said.
