Within the next two years and countless reps for the Indjija Indians, he was introduced to American football and playing in pads.
“We started playing and actually hitting people and I was like ‘oh wow, this is really fun,’” he said.
Before the COVID-19 pandemic, a coach mentioned to him the possibility of playing at the DI level, citing his size and work ethic. From there, he traveled to Europe where his skills grew and received increased exposure, eventually landing at Clearwater Academy in Florida.
What he put on display at Clearwater opened the door to him signing with the University of South Florida. In 2024, he helped USF rush for 180.2 yards per game and accrue 5,300 yards of offense.
It was on a late Wednesday night in October when Milovac first heard of Kennesaw State, after the Owls stunned the college football world with a 27-24 win over previously-unbeaten Liberty.
“It was all over social media,” he added.
After hopping in the transfer portal following the 2024 season, he got in touch with offensive line coach Jay Clements.
“It seemed like a pretty good spot and talking to him more, he brought me on a visit,” he said. “Head coach Jerry Mack and him, they told me how much they believed in me as a player and what I can do to help this team win.”
His conversations with Mack, Clements, the offensive scheme and the opportunities for him to play a key role convinced Milovac to sign with the Black and Gold.
“One of my main goals is to compete for a starting spot and just win games,” he said. “Kennesaw State is in a really good area and it’s a really nice spot to be at. The offense we run here is very exciting.”
