Thomas Haugh will represent Florida alongside Rueben Chinyelu, Alex Condon and Todd Golden at SEC Tip-Off '26.
Rueben Chinyelu, Alex Condon and Thomas Haugh will join head coach Todd Golden in representing Florida men’s basketball at SEC Tip-Off ’26 in Birmingham, Ala., on Wednesday, Oct. 15. The three players were the leading rebounders from last season’s national championship team and also rank as the program’s top returning scorers.
Chinyelu started all 40 contests for the Gators last year, contributing 6.0 points and 6.6 rebounds per game, along with four double-doubles, while anchoring the middle. He is one of only five players in Florida history to start 40 games in a single season, joining Will Richard, Taurean Green, Lee Humphrey, and Joakim Noah. His standout performance included a career-best 15 rebounds in Florida’s home victory over No. 1 Tennessee.
Condon averaged 10.6 points and a team-high 7.5 rebounds per game and led the Gators with 49 blocked shots on the way to All-SEC honors. He posted seven double-doubles, and his 103 offensive rebounds marked the third-most in a season in Florida history. Condon's dive to the floor for a loose ball as the horn sounded sealed the Gators' national championship win vs. Houston.
Haugh averaged 9.8 points and 6.1 rebounds and was the only Gator to score in all 40 games in their championship season. Haugh was the first player off the bench in 33 of the 35 games he did not start and was typically one of Florida's closing five. Haugh posted 20 points and 11 rebounds and shot 4-for-6 from 3-point range in the Elite Eight win vs. Texas Tech, including a pair of late 3-pointers to spark Florida's rally.
Portions of the event will be aired on SEC Network, with specific time windows to be announced later.
