Freshman (2025-26)
California high school star Alanna Neale signed with Nebraska on April 16, 2025, before joining the Huskers in June ahead of the 2025-26 season.

The 5-10 guard out of national power Ontario Christian averaged 12.1 points, 6.8 rebounds, 1.8 assists and 2.2 steals over 32 games as a senior in 2024-25 to earn All-California Interscholastic Federation Southern Section honors.

Neale put up a career-high five points in just over three minutes of action in Nebraska's 92-53 win over Bradley (Dec. 3). She hit both her shots from the field and completed her first career three-point play against the Braves.

Neale scored the first points of her Husker career with a three-pointer in Nebraska's 84-50 win over Creighton (Nov. 12). It was NU's 10th three of the game, marking the first time in school history that the Huskers hit double-digit triples in the 51-game series with the Jays.

She opened the regular season by playing eight minutes off the bench in a 103-46 win over Northwestern State (Nov. 3). She followed with two rebounds and an assist in NU's 80-46 win over Samford (Nov. 8).

Neale tipped her Husker career with a five-point effort in 10 minutes off the bench in a 104-40 exhibition win over Mount Marty (Oct. 24).

"We are beyond excited to make things official with the signing of Alanna Neale," Nebraska Coach Amy Williams said. "She joins us from one of the winningest and most successful high school programs in the country and is coming off a stellar senior season. We have seen Alanna use her skillset to impact the game on both sides of the ball and as a rebounding guard. There is so much excitement knowing that her best basketball is still in front of her. We can't wait to get her to Lincoln."

Neale is the first player from the Los Angeles area to sign with the Huskers since Tear'a Laudermill (Moreno Valley/Canyon Springs High School) in 2011. Laudermill was a two-time All-Big Ten selection and ranks among the top-25 players in scoring all-time at Nebraska. She was a member of four NCAA Tournament teams and part of the most successful four-year span in school history.

High School

The Lady Knights finished the season with a 30-2 overall record. She earned All-CIF Southern Section honors.

As a junior in 2023-24, Neale was named the MVP of the Olympic League and a first-team all-conference pick at Village Christian High School in Sun Valley, Calif., after averaging 18.2 points, 9.3 rebounds, 1.3 assists and 2.1 steals over 25 games for the Crusaders.

Neale spent her sophomore season at Chaminade High School in West Hills, Calif., where she was a second-team All-CIF selection and a first-team All-Mission League pick.
