Croatian freshman big with upside, but still finding his college rhythm
In the 2025-26 season, Luka Horvatic is a 6'9" freshman forward for Milligan from Zaprešić, Croatia, bringing international size and developmental upside to the Buffaloes[1][5]. His stat line has been modest so far—limited minutes and low scoring production—but the profile suggests a long-term project with the kind of length and frontcourt flexibility coaches covet[7][9]. If you need immediate production, he’s probably not the plug-and-play answer yet; if you want a young, teachable forward who can grow into a role, Horvatic is one to watch[1][5][7].
