No. 2-ranked 2025 prospect Cameron Boozer has proven to be an exemplary basketball star on and off the court. The five-star Duke signee was honored with 2025's Morgan Wootten Player of the Year award on Sunday.

The award is given to a student athlete who has shown commitment not just to the sport, but also in the classroom and the community.

The Duke signee is recognized for tutoring fellow students in disciplines such as algebra and geometry. The five-star power forward also helps out in a local special needs program and is also active in his involvement in youth services at his local church. There, he works with a local youth group on weekly bible lessons.

The award is usually handed out during the McDonald's All-American Game. Despite a lot of achievements already, his dad, former NBA All-Star Carlos Boozer, is still proud of him and commented with some heart emojis.

"❤️❤️❤️," Carlos Boozer wrote.
