Five-star siblings Cameron and Cayden Boozer are following their father's footsteps and going to Duke.

The 17-year-old fraternal twins from Miami's Columbus High School -- the sons of Duke alum Carlos Boozer -- announced their commitment to the Blue Devils' 2025 recruiting class on Friday.

Cameron, a 6-foot-9 power forward, and Cayden, a 6-foot-5 point guard, also took visits to Miami and Florida.

"I'm proud of them. They've worked their butts off for this moment," Carlos Boozer told ESPN. "Really excited that they took their time. Decided to play together in college, which is amazing. They both complement each other so well. They made the best decision for them. Me and Mom couldn't be any prouder. It's going to be a fun journey."

Carlos Boozer won a national championship at Duke in 2001 and was a two-time All-Star in the NBA, playing for 13 seasons with four teams from 2002-15.

Cameron is the nation's No. 2 overall recruit in the 247Sports composite, while Cayden ranks 21st overall and is the No. 4 point guard.

Cameron is a two-time Florida Mr. Basketball and was named the Gatorade National Player of the Year in 2023.

They have won three consecutive Florida state high school championships.

Both brothers have won a pair of gold medals with USA Basketball, at the FIBA U17 World Cup in Turkey in 2024 and the FIBA U16 Americas Championship in Mexico in 2023.
