Alex Clough joined the UCF Athletics Association as a strategic communications assistant in January of 2023. He handles the day-to-day media operations for the nationally-ranked men’s tennis, women's tennis and track and field/cross country programs at UCF.
During his early tenure in collegiate athletics, Clough has overseen the publicity efforts for both programs, including the growth of both teams’ presence on social media. He handles the production of releases and feature stories on the website, along with media requests and statistical operations. Clough served as an intern from August of 2021 until eventually being elevated to a communications assistant.
While working with the track and field program, Clough aided in the promotion of its 2023 Indoor and Outdoor American Athletic Conference Championships, along with traveling with the team to the NCAA Outdoor Championships in Austin, Texas, where four athletes garnered All-America honors. Most recently, he handled media efforts for the men’s tennis program’s first-round victory in the NCAA Tournament against Florida, the second in its history.
Clough has aided in statistical operations for both basketball and soccer programs, along with volleyball and baseball. In 2023, he served as a caller on a four-person stat crew for the first and second rounds of the NCAA DI Men’s Basketball Tournament in Orlando.
A native of Tampa, Florida, Clough plans to graduate with a bachelor’s degree in human communication and a minor in sports business management in December of 2024.
Clough’s family resides in England and France, and he is an avid soccer fan, having watched his favorite club, Arsenal, on five occasions, both at home and abroad.
