Caleb Foster announces return to Duke for 2025-26 season
Caleb Foster has been a key piece of the backcourt rotation through his pair of seasons at Duke. He’ll now continue that as an upperclassman with a return to Durham.
Foster is one of the hosts of the program’s podcast titled ‘The Brotherhood Podcast’. It was on that show this morning that Foster announced he’d be returning to the team for his junior year with the Blue Devils.
“What’s up, Duke fans? It’s C-Fos here,” Foster said. “As I mentioned before on previous podcasts that, growing up, it’s always been a dream of mine, chasing championships here at Duke. That has not changed and I’m excited to announce that I’ll be coming back for my junior year to keep going and keep pursuing to get that national championship, number six.”
Foster has appeared in 65 games, just a third of those being starts, the last two years for Duke. He has averaged 6.1 points (42.7% FG, 37.3% 3PT), 2.0 rebounds, and 1.7 assists per game in his collegiate career at Duke. His stats dropped, though, to 4.9 points (41.7% FG, 34.2% 3PT), 1.7 rebounds, and 1.4 assists as a sophomore this season, in large part because of the team’s success and the number of guards and ball-handlers they had this year.

Kon Knueppel has entered his name into the NBA Draft with Cooper Flagg and Khaman Maluach all but certain to join him. Tyrese Proctor and Sion James, two of those many guards this season, are then respectively unannounced about their future plans or are out of eligibility. Now, because of those, Foster could see his role expand, especially as a possible starting guard for them, alongside whichever other players return or transfers come or go to go with the No. 3 recruiting class in the country in ’25.
Foster, a former top recruit himself, hasn’t had as much opportunity, especially coming off this last season, to take the next step in college. He could now, depending on how the rest of the roster comes together for next year in Durham, be up for that in becoming an upperclassman in the program.
