Mihailo Boskovic announces return to BYU

When Mihailo Boskovic arrived in Provo last fall, few knew just how important the Serbian big man would become. Now, after a season of flashes and a statement postseason, the 6-foot-10 forward/center is officially returning to BYU—and Cougar fans should be paying attention.

Boskovic isn’t coming back by accident. “I stayed here [BYU] because I believe in the program, Coach Young and all the coaches and people around the team,” he told me. “I think I can improve my game here the best and think that we will have a great season ahead.” That kind of buy-in matters. Boskovic’s belief in BYU’s culture, coupled with his growing role late in the season, signals a player ready to lead—and one who isn’t just here to fill minutes.

Boskovic’s late-season impact coincided with BYU’s surge. After a limited preseason (he joined the team in September), Boskovic found his rhythm in February. He dropped 11 points in the rivalry win over Utah and added 10 in the Big 12 Tournament win over Iowa State—going 3-for-7 from beyond the arc. While he averaged just 3.6 points and 1.7 rebounds over 11 minutes per game, the eye test told a different story: Boskovic stretches the floor, opens up driving lanes, and has untapped shooting potential.

With a full summer to develop, expectations are rising. Boskovic shot just 27% from three (15-56), but scouts and coaches believe that number can rise to 35% or more with consistent reps. His MVP performance at the 2022 FIBA U20 Championship—beating out NBA draftee Bobi Klintman—proves he has another level.

Boskovic didn’t just decide to return—he’s betting on himself, on BYU, and on a season that could surprise the Big 12. With more minutes, a bigger role, and a full offseason to refine his game, Mihailo Boskovic might just become one of the Cougars’ most important pieces in 2025. Cougar Nation, get ready—Provo’s big man is back.
