GAINESVILLE, Fla. –  A standout opposite hitter from Serbia, Milica Vidačić will join Florida volleyball’s 2025 roster.

“Excited and looking forward to having Milica on the team,” said Florida’s Head Coach Ryan Theis. “She has a high level of experience as an opposite in international play and has contributed major points to her team.”

The 6’4″ incoming freshman has made significant impact on both the national and club levels, earning numerous MVP accolades. She was named the MVP of the 2024 Serbian Junior Championships after she led her team, TENT OBRENOVAC, to a 3-0 victory against CRVENA ZVEZDA.

She has represented her country at the national level as well, most recently at the U20 European Championships.

Why Vidačić chose the University of Florida

“I chose Florida because I think it’s the right place for me, for my progress and it will give me the opportunity to become the best version of myself. They have serious coaches, conditions for progress, have top players and they play great volleyball. I’m honored to be playing for Florida, it’s a top college. And it’s a great opportunity to show myself in the best light!”

Welcome to the Gator family, Milica 🧡💙
