Cayden Boozer, the Duke Blue Devils' guard, has announced his plans for the 2026-27 college basketball season.

With the wound of the Final Four loss to UConn still fresh, the Duke Blue Devils are unable to waste time sulking. The page must be turned to the 2026-27 college basketball season, and that includes finalizing the roster before the summer. One key component of the Blue Devils' success last year, which saw them end the season 35-3, was freshman guard Cayden Boozer, the brother of future NBA lottery pick Cameron Boozer.

While Cameron is destined for the NBA, his brother Cayden had a choice to make. As reported by CBS Sports' Jon Rothstein, Cayden Boozer will be returning to the Duke Blue Devils for the 2026-27 college basketball season, despite a sour ending to this past year when he committed the untimely turnover against the UConn Huskies that led to Braylon Mullins hitting a three-point shot to send Duke home from the NCAA Tournament. Cayden Boozer is returning to Duke next season, per release.
