Meet 2026's Alex Constanza, a Top-5 recruit, he talks recruitment, game
Alex Constanza, a 6-foot-8 sophomore, currently starring at Westminister Academy (FL.) and drawing early attention from several suitors.
The Florida native comes from a basketball background. His father, Ed, a New York native, has been known by coaches as a basketball historian. Point blank, the Constanzas are a hoops family.
The 2026 star has been playing excellent basketball over the last few months, putting him in the conversation as one of the top-rated sophomores in the entire country.
Recently, Alex had multiple 20+ points finishes at Flyin’ To The Hoop and has continued to make his mark as a Top-10 recruit.
One reason coaches have been in hot pursuit of the Westminister Academy product is due to his ability to play multiple positions and also guard multiple positions. In addition, at 6-foot-8, his ability to do special things on the basketball court has been made evident.
Constanza continues to be an early target amongst college coaches, most recently adding an offer from Syracuse, notching his offer total to 16.
Stockrisers.com had the opportunity to speak with the rising 2026 prospect on his recruitment and his game.
