2026 NCAA ‘A’ finalist in both breaststroke events Luka Mladenovic of Michigan has entered the transfer portal just days after finishing up his freshman season with the Wolverines. Numerous men from Minnesota have also entered the portal including NCAA ‘A’ finalist in the 200 fly Jacob Johnson.
Mladenovic arrived at Michigan this past fall and is originally from Salzburg, Austria. Mladenovic finished his freshman season over the weekend and was the highest scoring individual for the Michigan men who finished 8th at the 2026 NCAA Championships.
He made the ‘A’ final in both breaststroke events, swimming a 1:49.34 in the 200 breast for 3rd as well as a lifetime best 50.47 for 5th in the 100 breast. He also was 15th in the 200 IM and helped Michigan to a 4th place finish in the 400 medley relay as well as a 7th place finish in the 200 medley relay.
Back in February, Mladenovic swam to Big Ten titles in both breaststroke events as he touched in a 50.69 in the 100 breast and a 1:49.34 in the 200 breast. He helped Michigan to a 2nd place finish at the 2026 Big Ten Championships.
Other names highlighting the portal are Minnesota’s Daniel Eichel and Jacob Johnson. Johnson also competed at the 2026 NCAA Championships, finishing 4th in the 200 fly with a lifetime best 1:39.20. Johnson was the only individual swimming scorer for the Gopher men at 2026 NCAAs. Johnson saw a huge improvement in the 200 fly from Big Tens to NCAAs as he was 4th at Big Tens in a 1:40.20. Eichel posted a lifetime best 4:14.33 500 free at the Minnesota Last Chance meet and saw his highest finish at Big Tens come in the 500 free (14th, 4:19.06).
