Florida sophomore Alex Condon announced Tuesday on social media that he is withdrawing from the 2025 NBA draft and returning to school next season.

Condon was named to the All-SEC second team by USA TODAY, averaging 10.6 points, 7.5 rebounds, 2.2 assists and 1.3 blocks on 49.3% shooting from the field. He ranked third in the conference in total rebounds (279) and seventh in blocked shots (49).

The 7-footer was among the notable prospects who were still weighing their decisions ahead of the early entrant withdrawal deadline on Wednesday. Gators coach Todd Golden is excited to have his starting center back for another year.

“Really thrilled to get him back,” Golden said Tuesday at the SEC spring meetings in Florida, via Edgar Thompson of the Orlando Sentinel . “He’s had a great process. He got great feedback from some teams. We were worried there for a little bit that he would stay in.”

Condon competed in the draft combine earlier this month, shooting 25-of-51 from the field in two 3-point shooting drills in Chicago, Illinois. He also registered a 2.76-second time in the shuttle run, the fourth-fastest among all participants this year .

The Australian was considered a borderline first-round pick, likely factoring into his decision to forgo turning pro. He previously stated at the combine that he'd likely remain in consideration if he received a high first-round grade, adding that he'd be comfortable returning to Gainesville.

Condon joins Rueben Chinyelu and Thomas Haugh in returning to the program. Golden and the Gators are also adding AJ Brown (Ohio), Boogie Fland (Arkansas) and Xaivian Lee (Providence) via the transfer portal, the eighth-ranked class, according to 247Sports .
