Duke’s Caleb Foster Announces Return for Senior Year, Boozer Brothers Show Support

Cameron Boozer and the Duke Blue Devils had a disappointing end to the 2025-26 college basketball season. After securing the No. 1 overall seed in the NCAA Tournament and becoming a heavy favorite to win it all, Duke went on to lose to Braylon Mullins and the No. 2 seed UConn Huskies in the Elite Eight, falling just short of a Final Four birth.

Still, Boozer impressed during his freshman season in Durham, taking home the national college player of the year award, among many others. The forward showed his offensive versatility, averaging 22.5 points, 10.2 rebounds and 4.1 assists per game. And while Boozer is expected to be one of the first selections in the 2026 NBA Draft, another Duke star will now be returning to Durham next season.

Foster saw his role decrease in 2024-25 with the likes of Cooper Flagg and Kon Knueppel joining the team, averaging just 14.0 minutes in 38 games played. But in his junior year, the point guard had his best season yet, becoming Duke’s full-time starter, at least until his injury late in the season, averaging career highs of 8.3 points on 44.7% shooting, 3.5 rebounds and 2.8 assists.

And on Wednesday, Foster took to social media to announce that he will be returning to Duke for his senior year in 2026-27, forgoing the transfer portal and the NBA Draft.

“Right now, I’m just focusing on the right now,” Foster said. “And right now, I feel like I’m exactly where I’m supposed to be. I’ve known since day one it was always Duke. That’s the dream, and the dream hasn’t changed. I fought hard through the ups…
