Meet Shaquille O’Neal’s youngest daughter Me’Arah, who just beat her father’s SEC record
The 19-year-old, who now plays at the collegiate level for the Florida Gators, has been called the ‘best hooper in the family’ by her brother Shareef
The 19-year-old has followed in her legendary father’s footsteps and currently plays guard for the University of Florida’s women’s basketball team, the Florida Gators. She is signed to LIFT Management.
Recently, at the 2026 Southeastern Conference (SEC) tournament, she scored 22 points and led the Gators to an 86-68 victory against Mississippi State University’s Bulldogs. She even surpassed Shaq, whose personal best in the SEC was 16 points for Louisiana State University’s LSU Tigers, scored in a 1992 match against the University of Tennessee’s Tennessee Volunteers.
Reacting to the achievement, Me’Arah’s brother Shareef O’Neal – also a basketballer and the Shaq Brand’s creative strategist – proudly declared his sister “the best hooper in the family”. Me’Arah made it to the McDonald’s All-American roster in 2024.
