Vukovic stands 6’11” and enters the program with four years of collegiate eligibility. He previously played for KK Vršac of the Basketball League of Serbia, averaging 13 minutes, 6.1 points, 2.5 rebounds and 0.7 assists on 66% shooting.
The young center figures to slide into Wisconsin’s front court rotation behind starter Steven Crowl and primary backup Nolan Winter. He is the fourth impactful addition of the offseason by Greg Gard and his staff, along with PG Camren Hunter, G John Tonje and F Xavier Amos.

Gard and his staff are working to end what is now a seven-year drought without a Sweet Sixteen appearance. The program has found regular season success, but has struggled to replicate that success in March.
The Badgers will look different in 2024-25. But a productive transfer class paired with promising youngsters has the team’s expectations rising.
