Alex Condon confirmed he will be back with the Gators for his senior season in 2026-27.

Condon was the team's leading scorer last season, when Florida entered the NCAA Tournament as a No. 1 seed but fell in the Elite Eight against No. 9 seed Iowa in a bid to repeat as national champions.

The 6-11 forward shared the news Wednesday afternoon via Instagram with a photo inscribed "back to work." Under the image, Condon wrote "one more."

Condon averaged 15.1 points, 7.5 rebounds, 3.6 assists and 1.4 blocks per game last season and was part of the 2025 national title team under head coach Todd Golden.

After the upset loss to Iowa, Condon said he was "50-50" to return for a final season. ESPN rankings placed him at No. 30 overall among potential 2026 NBA draft picks.

Florida has not received commitments to return from NBA prospects Thomas Haugh and Rueben Chinyelu. Haugh is projected as a top-20 pick in the draft if he chooses to declare.

Condon has 70 starts in three seasons (107 total games) since joining Florida from Perth, Australia, in 2023.
