Florida big man Alex Condon announced his withdrawal from the NBA Draft and return to the Gators for the 2025-26 season. Condon just played a pivotal role in leading Florida to a national title.
Condon, a rising junior in Gainesville, was a formidable presence down low for the national champion Gators. Condon used his 6-foot-11 frame to impact the game in a variety of ways, and he averaged 10.6 points, 7.5 rebounds, 2.2 assists and 1.3 blocks per game as a sophomore.
In the Gators’ national title win over Houston, Condon scored 12 points to go along with seven rebounds and four steals in 28 minutes.
A native of Australia, Condon was a three-star recruit in Florida’s 2023 signing class. According to the 247Sports rankings, Condon was the No. 32 center and No. 2 player from Australia in that cycle. As a freshman, Condon made an immediate impact off the bench and earned SEC All-Freshman honors in 2024.
Condon’s return is a huge boost for Florida’s chances of a repeat in 2025-26. The Gators will be going for their second repeat of the 21st century, having already done it once in 2006 and 2007 under coach Billy Donovan.
