UCLA lands Auburn forward Filip Jovic as 2026 transfer era begins

Auburn transfer Filip Jovic, a 6'9 Serbian forward who averaged 5.9 points and 4.1 rebounds in 18 minutes per game this past season, commits to UCLA, signaling the Bruins’ first 2026 transfer and a step in roster rebuilding under Mick Cronin. Jovic arrives with three years of eligibility and follows UCLA’s 24-12 season that ended in a Second Round exit; Auburn finished 20-16 and missed the NCAA Tournament bubble. UCLA’s roster picture remains fluid, with departures like Donovan Dent and Tyler Bildeau and returning players such as Eric Daily and Trent Perry, plus incoming Joe Philon anticipated to help shape the lineup.
