ACC Makes Major Cooper Flagg Announcement After Historic Freshman Season at Duke

The Duke Blue Devils put together a standout season under head coach Jon Scheyer, dominating the ACC and making an impressive run in the NCAA Tournament. Although their journey ended in heartbreak with a dramatic late-game collapse against the Houston Cougars in the Final Four, Duke's performance throughout the season was nothing short of impressive.

While they ultimately fell short of capturing a national championship, the Blue Devils achieved plenty—including showcasing the nation's top player in freshman sensation Cooper Flagg.

Though Flagg has likely played his final game at Duke, with the projected No. 1 overall pick expected to declare for the NBA draft, he made history during his lone college season. He became just the fourth player ever to win both ACC Player of the Year and Rookie of the Year in the same season, while also collecting multiple National Player of the Year honors from a variety of outlets.

On Thursday, the ACC highlighted another accolade to Flagg’s remarkable résumé, announcing that he is the first player in Duke history to lead the team in points, rebounds, assists, steals, and blocks in a single season.
