Cameron Boozer is set to start his collegiate career after spending four years in Columbus (Miami). The twin, son of Duke legend Carlos Boozer, will follow in his father’s steps and play for the Blue Devils in college.

Like many other prospects, Boozer is in the gym, preparing for his freshman season. As a five-star recruit and ranked the No. 3 player in the country, he’s one of the most anticipated rookies of the 2024-25 NCAA basketball season.

Boozer showed off his passing, rebounding and even ball-handling skills during his high school years, but there is something he needs to work on before taking his game to new heights, especially in the NBA. The 17-year-old forward finished his high school career as a 43% 3-point shooter, but he’s not stopping there.

Cameron Boozer and his twin brother, Cayden, will join Jon Scheyer’s team, hoping to make a strong impact and take Duke back to the top of college basketball following a Final Four exit against the Houston Cougars in March.

They joined a team with a series of efficient shooters such as Dame Sarr, Darren Harris, and Isaiah Evans, but he will most likely be asked to carry the bulk of the load on offense.
