Born in Perth to two professional athletes, Alex Condon was destined for athletic greatness. While he protects the rim for the Gators now, it wasn’t long ago that he was protecting the goal in under-14s. While he left his water polo career behind, he continued playing footy, a love that he shares with his father. Condon’s father was an accomplished Aussie football player while his mother was an Olympic swimmer.

Funnily enough, Alex’s growth as a multi-sport athlete was hindered by his growth spurt as he then decided to give the hardwood his all. But the skills developed through all that exposure only helped him move forward in basketball. His time at the NBA Global Academy further polished him, and it was at an international tournament in Las Vegas that he caught Todd Golden’s eye.

What are Alex Condon’s NIL deals as of 2025?

According to On3, Alex Condon has four NIL deals, with all of them being a part of Florida Victorious, the official Name, Image, and Likeness (NIL) collective for the University of Florida, aiming to empower student-athletes and strengthen Gator athletics through fan engagement and community involvement.

Giving back is the theme of Alex’s NIL strategy. Alex’s deals include Florida Victorious, Fairgame Australia, Clontarf Foundation, and Koya Aboriginal Corporation. Staying true to his roots, Alex doesn’t forget to give back to his country even when he’s on the other side of the world.

Through his deal with Fairgame Australia, he worked with the organization to make sports accessible to all kids. Also located in Australia, the Clontarf Foundation exists to improve the education, discipline, life skills, self-esteem, and employment prospects of young Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander men and, by doing so, equips them to participate more meaningfully in society. As part of his involvement, he headed down to Kent Street School in Perth and played ball with middle school kids, making for a special experience for the young men.

His intent of working for the upliftment of the indigenous community is clear as day, further highlighted in his deal with Koya Aboriginal Corporation, which aims to help create innovative and sustainable Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander operated businesses. Alex has also expressed his gratitude to Florida Victorious, as they help international students to give back in their local communities.

Which high school did Alex Condon attend?

Alex Condon attended Hale School in Perth, Australia. He primarily played cricket, water polo, and Australian-rules football — footy, as he likes to call it. But after his 6-inch growth spurt in 10th and 11th grades, he chose to stick to the hardwood. “After that growth spurt, it was pretty much a no-brainer to go basketball and see how far I could go with that,” Condon said. He then enrolled at the Basketball Australia Centre of Excellence (CoE) at the Australian Institute of Sport, which is partnered with the NBA Global Academy.

What’s your perspective on:

Will Alex Condon's unique multi-sport background give him an edge in the NBA?

Have an interesting take?

Condon was recruited to the NBA Academy by Gregory Collucci, NBA Elite Basketball Collegiate Recruiting and Alumni Relations Lead. The NBA Academy is a year-round program that provides a holistic approach to player development on and off the court, preparing players for the highest level. Located in Canberra, it was here that Condon worked with head coach Robbie McKinlay and his staff, competing against future Division I players, including Duke guard Tyrese Proctor and BYU forward Aly Khalifa.

He grew so rapidly between his 16, 17-year-old year he grew about 5 or 6 inches, so he was kind of functioning as a 6-5 player but his running skills, the catching skills, the athleticism, came with him so really for him, it was just a rapid introduction into a lot of the concepts of basketball.” Colluci said of the rare prospect.

“Day in, day out he was playing with good guards, he was playing against really good forwards, guys who were making him compete at the rim, So every day was kind of a cauldron of competition, which, you know, he rises to that, and we found that the more the level rose the better he kind of performed.”

After a year and a half in the academy, Colluci said it was apparent that Condon was ready for Division I college basketball. So, upon receiving his recruiting offers, Alex chose the Gators over Saint Mary’s and Utah weeks after an official visit to Gainesville for Florida’s bout with Missouri in mid-January. “I chose Florida because I believe that it was the best fit for me,” Condon told 247Sports’ basketball recruiting analyst Travis Branham. “They are great people and the new coach is young and enthusiastic. Everyone was really welcoming and I got to meet all of the boys. It was an impressive school from the start of the visit to the end.”

What is Alex Condon’s net worth and salary?

Alex Condon’s net worth is not available in the public domain. Also, being a collegiate player, he does not receive a salary as part of the NCAA rule that prohibits colleges from paying student-athletes.

However, heading to the final four while being a prospect whose ceiling is far from explored, his draft stock might continue to rise along with his net worth. While he isn’t a lock for this year’s NBA draft, he is on the radar to become a multi-millionaire this year or next as he continues to star for the University of Florida, according to The Sydney Morning Herald. ESPN ranked Condon as a potential pick 16 in February for this year’s draft, and more recently forecasted him going at pick 28, but draft expert Jonathan Givony wrote that Condon could be a lottery (top 13) pick in 2026.
