Cameron Boozer Emerges as Clear Front-Runner for 2025-26 John R. Wooden Award…Readmore…

DURHAM, N.C. — Duke Blue Devils forward Cameron Boozer has become the runaway favorite to claim the 2025-26 John R. Wooden Award, a prestigious honor given annually to the most outstanding men’s college basketball player in the United States. Odds-makers have increasingly backed Boozer’s candidacy, with some sportsbooks listing him at near-lock figures, implying roughly a 95 % probability of winning the award — a remarkable position for any player, let alone a freshman. �

Boozer’s dominance this season has been nothing short of spectacular. The 6-foot-9 freshman has consistently delivered at an elite level, leading Duke with impressive scoring, rebounding, and playmaking while helping the Blue Devils stay atop the Atlantic Coast Conference standings. His combination of offensive production and all-around impact has separated him from the pack of contenders, with BYU’s AJ Dybantsa and others trailing significantly in the odds. �

This lofty status in the Wooden Award race also reflects broader media and statistical recognition of Boozer’s performance. Analysts and rankings have repeatedly placed him at the forefront of the National Player of the Year conversation, noting his historical consistency and impact compared with other elite freshmen across recent decades. �

If Boozer does capture the Wooden Award, he would follow in the footsteps of fellow Duke freshman Cooper Flagg, who won the honor last season, further cementing Duke’s current dynasty of top talent development. �
