Fred “Curly” Neal

Frederick “Curly” Neal was an American basketball player who graduated from JCSU and become a legendary player with the Harlem Globetrotter!

It is with tremendous sorrow that Johnson C. Smith University shares the loss of Fred “Curly” Neal, a 1975 alumnus who was a former member of the Harlem Globetrotters and the Golden Bulls basketball team.

JCSU President Clarence D. Armbrister expressed sadness at the loss of Neal, who was not only a talented basketball player but also a global goodwill ambassador. “Like millions of people around the world, I remember being in awe of Curly’s skills on the basketball court and the joy I felt watching him and the other Globetrotters as they entertained us,” Armbrister said. “His talents as a Harlem Globetrotter, and most importantly as a Golden Bull, will forever be remembered. On behalf of the entire JCSU family, I extend heartfelt condolences to Curly’s family, friends and fans.”
