Todd Golden and the Florida Gators men's basketball program made its first roster move in nearly two months, filling its final scholarship slot with a high-upside guard from Sacramento State.
Alex Kovatchev, a Perth, Australia native, becomes the fourth backcourt portal addition by the Gators this offseason, joining Boogie Fland, Xaivian Lee, and AJ Brown.
Kovatchev played in just four games in 2024-25 after sustaining an undisclosed injury. He started in all four appearances, averaging 8.5 points and 5.0 rebounds across 25.2 minutes.
Considering he'll likely receive a medical redshirt for last season, Kovatchev should have three years of eligibility remaining.
