With Boozer’s latest recognition, Blue Devil commits have now accounted for the past four Mr. Basketball USA honorees, as Dariq Whitehead won in 2022 and Cooper Flagg prevailed over then-junior Cameron Boozer and other top talents last year.
A 6-foot-9, 245-pound power forward currently checking in at No. 3 overall on the 247Sports 2025 Composite, Cameron Boozer is also a two-time Gatorade National Player of the Year (same years).
He headlines a three-deep 2025 Duke basketball class that mirrors his individual ranking at No. 3 in the country, per 247Sports.
The other two incoming Blue Devil freshmen are Harvard-Westlake School (Calif.) five-star forward Nikolas Khamenia plus Cameron Boozer’s twin and Columbus teammate in five-star guard Cayden Boozer.
