Auburn finished the season with a 20-16 record, falling just short of the NCAA Tournament bubble as part of the Selection Committee’s First Four Out. In Year One under Steven Pearl, the Tigers accepted a bid into the NIT and played postseason basketball.
Jovic arrived as a three-star prospect in the Rivals Industry Rankings, sitting at No. 198 overall in the 2025 class. Originally from Serbia, the 6-foot-9 forward started his professional career with Mega. There, he averaged 10.6 points and 3.6 rebounds in 44 games across two seasons.
Now 21, he still has three years of eligibility remaining in college. Now adjusted to the American game, he could become a valuable pickup for any team that targets the Serbian native in the transfer portal this spring.
UCLA brings in its first commitment of the 2026 transfer window, starting to build out the roster for Year Eight under Mick Cronin. Coming off a 24-12 record which saw the Bruins exit in the Second Round of the NCAA Tournament, they are looking to get back into the second weekend.
