In his one season on the Plains, the 6-foot-9 forward averaged 6.3 points and 4.0 rebounds per game. He made an appearance in 35 games this previous season for Auburn. Jovic played a vital role stepping up for Auburn in their NIT championship due to the senior KeShawn Murphy choosing to opt out of the tournament.

Originally recruited from Serbia as a three-star prospect according to Rivals. He starred for KKMega Basket in the Euro leagues, where he averaged 10.6 points and 3.6 rebounds in two seasons of play. The 21-year-old will have three years of eligibility left in college as he joins the Bruins team that finished last season 24-12.
