Brzovic averaged a double-double as a freshman at Southeastern Oklahoma State
CHARLESTON, S.C. – CofC Basketball bolstered its frontcourt on Wednesday, signing decorated Div. II standout Ante Brzovic, head coach Pat Kelsey announced. A Zageb, Croatia native, Brzovic comes to Charleston with three years of eligibility remaining after a strong rookie campaign at Southeastern Oklahoma State University.
Brzovic is a 6-foot-10, 230-pound forward who led Southeastern Oklahoma State in scoring with 17.8 points per game. The stretch big tacked on 11.0 rebounds per game to average a double-double on his way to earning First Team All-Great American Conference honors and GAC Freshman of the Year recognition.
"Ante is an extremely versatile player with the ability to effect the game in many ways," Kelsey said. "His combination of size, skill and basketball IQ make him a very dangerous player but to me, his ability to rebound at an elite level is his separator. He presents a tough matchup for opponents with his skill set and we're looking forward to him joining this movement happening in Our City."
In just one season with Southeastern Oklahoma State, Brzovic left his mark on the record books, matching or surpassing freshman records for rebounds, field goal percentage, total made field goals, double-doubles and more. He racked up 16 double-doubles, including one in each of the last seven games of the season, and scored in double figures in 27 of 30 games.
Deemed an 'elite player' by renowned college basketball analyst Jeff Goodman, Brzovic finished his freshman campaign with 10 games scoring 20 points or more, highlighted by a career-best 32 points vs. Arkansas Tech. In 30 outings, he shot 52.8 percent from the field, 33 percent from beyond the arc and 72.5 percent from the foul line. He also tallied 14 blocks and 49 assists.
Brzovic helped steer the Savage Storm to a 24-6 season and a GAC regular season conference championship. In addition to his GAC postseason awards, Brzovic earned D2CCA All-Central Region honors.
Brzovic played prep school hoops at Zdravstveno uciliste Zagreb. He was a political science major at Southeastern Oklahoma State. Brzovic is the fourth Cougar newcomer to sign with CofC this spring, joining fellow Div. II star Pat Robinson III of West Liberty, Wofford grad transfer guard Ryan Larson and incoming freshman Jordan Crawford.
