Oklahoma State roster for the 2024-25 season is finalized with the addition of 6-foot-11 Serbian talent. He is the only true freshman on the team but comes with significant experience, having played against professional players in the Basketball League of Serbia over the past two seasons while still remaining an amateur. He will turn 20 in January.
OSU head coach Steve Lutz commented, “Landing a player and individual of Andrija’s quality is a major boost for Oklahoma State, especially so late in the summer. He’s a robust, athletic player who excels in defense and finishing near the basket. His experience competing at the top level of Serbian basketball should accelerate his development and ease his transition to the Big 12. We’re thrilled to have him join us in Stillwater and be part of the Cowboy Basketball Family!”
