Jermaine Darnell Beal (born November 4, 1987) is an American professional basketball player for Ironi Nes Ziona of the Israeli National League. He completed his four-year college basketball career with Vanderbilt before spending the first three seasons of his professional career in Poland, Belgium, Brazil and the NBA Development League. In 2013, he arrived in Australia to play for the Perth Wildcats and quickly cemented his legacy as one of the greatest shooting guards in the team's history. Over three seasons with the Wildcats, he won two championships, was named the 2014 NBL Grand Final MVP and earned Wildcats' Club MVP honors in 2015. He joined the Brisbane Bullets in 2016, but his stint ended before the conclusion of the 2016–17 season.
Beal attended DeSoto High School in DeSoto, Texas, where he was a two-time All-State honoree and helped the Eagles to a 5-A state title as a freshman and a state runner-up finish as a junior. After earning District 7-5A Sophomore of the Year honors in 2003–04, he went on to average 25 points, eight assists and five rebounds per game as a junior in 2004–05, leading the Eagles to a 37–4 mark and a runner-up finish in the Texas 4A state championship game.
On November 10, 2005, Beal signed a National Letter of Intent to play college basketball for Vanderbilt University.
As a senior in 2005–06, Beal averaged 21.5 points, six assists and five rebounds per game, becoming the school's all-time leading scorer.
As a freshman at Vanderbilt in 2006–07, Beal finished among the SEC's freshmen leaders in steals (fourth with 1.06 per game), free throw shooting (fifth at 80.0 percent) and assists (sixth with 1.79). He appeared in 34 games for the Commodores and made two starts, while averaging 3.8 points and 1.8 rebounds in 16.8 minutes per game.
