Duke basketball star Cameron Boozer’s dominant season earns Naismith Player of the Year honor
Duke basketball star Cameron Boozer received a prestigious award in recognition of his efforts during the 2025-26 season.
The Duke basketball program is still sifting through the rubble in the aftermath of last week’s shocking Elite Eight loss to the UConn Huskies in March Madness. Duke led that game by as many as 19 points, but ultimately let the game slip through their fingers in the final moments, with the Huskies already having since punched their ticket to the national title game.
Still, it was a season to remember for Duke big man Cameron Boozer, son of former NBA player Carlos Boozer, who is expected to be one of the first names taken off the board in the upcoming NBA Draft. On Sunday, Boozer received a great honor highlighting his excellence throughout his freshman season for the Blue Devils.
“Cam Boozer has been named the 2026 Naismith Men’s College Player of the Year,” reported Bleacher Report on X, formerly Twitter, noting that Boozer joined Cooper Flagg as the second straight Duke player to win the award.
