The Duke Blue Devils are currently preparing for the Sweet 16, having entered the NCAA Tournament as the No. 1 seed, led by freshman Cooper Flagg.
Flagg helped the Blue Devils defeat Mount St. Mary’s in the first round and the round of 32, both of which came in blowout fashion.
The Duke freshman is up for National Player of the Year, having already established himself as a Blue Devils legend during his first season with the program.
While Flagg is projected to leave the Blue Devils and enter the 2025 NBA Draft, where many believe he will be selected as the No. 1 overall pick, Duke has another young star incoming.
Cameron Boozer, the son of former NBA star Carlos Boozer, is heading to play for head coach Jon Scheyer and the Blue Devils next season.
Before packing his bags for Cameron Indoor Stadium, Boozer has been named the 2025 Gatorade Player of the Year.
After the announcement of Boozer’s tremendous national accomplishment, he received a message from Columbus High School, where he made a name for himself as one of the top players in the country.
“HISTORY. MADE. TWICE,” posted Columbus. “Cameron Boozer ’25 has been named the Gatorade National Basketball Player of the Year — again! Already a legend, Cameron joins an elite group of only three other players to ever win this honor twice. Proud doesn’t even begin to cover it.”
According to 247Sports, Boozer is ranked as the No. 1 power forward and the No. 2 overall player in the nation, behind BYU commit AJ Dybansta.
