The 6-foot-9 forward was ESPN’s No. 3 overall recruit and the McDonald’s All-American Co-MVP.
Boozer averaged 22.5 points, 10.2 boards, and 4.1 assists across 38 appearances during his lone season with the Blue Devils. He finished tied for the NCAA’s lead in double-doubles (22) and ranked fourth in free-throw attempts (280).
Boozer was the first freshman or sophomore to average at least 20 points, 10 rebounds, and four assists in one season since Larry Bird accomplished the feat in 1976-77.
Boozer earned the Wooden Award as the nation’s top overall player and the Karl Malone Award as the best power forward.
The Blue Devils are also losing Isaiah Evans from last season’s Elite Eight squad, but they’ll have Dame Sarr and Cayden Boozer back for the 2026-27 campaign.
