This wouldn’t be the first time in O’Neal’s college basketball career he’s switched schools. He transferred to Florida A&M after a two-year stint at Texas Southern.

O’Neal appeared in 41 games during his time with the Tigers, starting in two games. He was listed as a three-star high school recruit, according to his bio on Florida A&M’s athletics website.

Basketball runs deep in the O’Neal family. 

Shaq won four NBA championships and was a 15-time All-Star during his storied career. His other son, Shaereef, played at UCLA and LSU before a stint in the NBA G League.

In 2023, Shaq’s youngest child, Me’Arah O’Neal, signed her national letter of intent to play for the Florida Gators. She made her debut with Florida during the 2024-25 season and recorded a career-high 19 points in a game against Arkansas in February.
