Ulmer, Jayhawks Sign Jovana Zelenovic
6/20/2025 10:00:00 AM | Women's Volleyball
LAWRENCE, Kan. – Head coach Matt Ulmer has announced the addition of Jovana Zelenovic to the Kansas volleyball program. Zelenovic becomes the seventh newcomer signed by Ulmer and the fourth who will be a freshman during the 2025 campaign.
Â
Currently a member of the Serbian Senior National Team, Zelenovic is a 6-7 opposite hitter from Novi Sad, Serbia. She is competing in the 2025 Volleyball Nations League (VNL) this summer after leading OK Železnicar to a Serbian National Championship this past season.
Â
"Jovana is an impact player on both sides of the ball," Ulmer said. "She has the ability to score at a high level when everyone knows the ball is going to her. Her block is very imposing to the opposition. She has a very sweet personality and she's very excited about coming to Kansas. Our fans will really enjoy watching Jovana compete as a Jayhawk."
Â
With the additions of Zelenovic, Kansas has now signed seven players since Ulmer was hired in January. Zelenovic is the third international prospect to sign, joining Selena Leban (Nova Gorica, Slovenia) and Aurora Papac (Požega, Croatia). Rounding out the freshman class is Logan Bell (Beech Grove, Indiana), while Kansas also added transfers Cristin Cline (Oregon), Ryan White (Oregon State) and Audra Wilmes (Washington).
Â
Kansas volleyball opens the 2025 season at the AVCA First Serve, which includes games against Vanderbilt (Aug. 23) in Lincoln, Nebraska, and Penn State (Aug. 25) in Sioux Falls, South Dakota.
