BYU’s Center Swap: Jakub Out, Petar In | College Basketball News

Jakub Urbaniak, BYU’s projected starting center, is off the roster after NCAA eligibility concerns over his pre-college earnings led him to return to Europe and sign with CB Gran Canaria. The move closes one chapter, but opens another as 7’1” Serbian phenom Petar Ostojic arrives on campus — a 19-year-old powerhouse who dazzled at FIBA U18 EuroBasket with 25-14-6 stats in one game. While Petar’s path to immediate playing time hinges on Jaxon Kohler’s ongoing eligibility drama, he brings vital size and depth to BYU’s frontcourt. With one scholarship spot still open, the Cougars may soon welcome another international talent — all while navigating a complex NCAA landscape that’s reshaping their roster.
