The University of Texas men’s swimming and diving program continues to bolster its roster with international talent, as Croatian diver Matej Nevescanin is signed and will be joining the Longhorns in the fall of 2025.
Nevescanin announced his commitment in late 2023, and reaffirmed it in the fall by signing a National Letter of Intent. Even with the shifting landscape of college swimming & diving, with roster limits making every commitment precarious, Nevescanin is poised to bring Texas diving back to the forefront of the national scene – contributing to their NCAA title defense hopes.

Nevescanin is a standout on the European diving circuit, earning multiple medals at the European Junior level, including gold on the one meter in 2023. He also is a European finalist at the senior level. Nevescanin has also found success on the world stage as well, having earned medals at the World Junior Diving Championship in 2021, 2022 and 2024. Recently, he qualified to his first senior international final at the recent Diving World Cup in Guadalajara, placing 11th.
His commitment to Texas marks a significant addition to the Longhorns’ diving squad, and he will be a valuable asset on the springboards. The Longhorns already boasted the highest scoring diving squad at the SEC Championships and they will return all scoring NCAA divers next season. Jacob Welsh was Texas’ highest scoring diver this year as just a freshman, so Nevescanin’s addition will help to get Texas right back near the top of NCAA men’s diving. His international experience and power on the boards will make him a scoring threat from day one.
Nevescanin will join the Longhorns’ class of 2029, which includes swimmers Aiden Hammer and Campbell McKean, as well as fellow Europeans Ksawery Masiuk, Rafael Fente-Damers, and Calvin Fry.
