Born in Harrisburg, North Carolina. Caleb dreamt of winning The National Championship at Duke one day. Last year, His heart sank alongside the Blue hearts of Durham as he sustained a stress fracture to his ankle at Wake Forest, only a week before March Madness started. It was heartbreaking, but Caleb Foster is not one to get rattled. He channeled all those negative emotions into the Off-Season where he focused on his strengthening to prepare himself for March. Standing right besides him through it all is his father, Michael Foster, who became an even bigger part of Caleb’s journey when he retired from his job as a state trooper and started following him across the country. When asked what motivated him, Caleb simply replied, “My family — my dad and how hard he works, my mom what she’s sacrificed for me to travel and play basketball my whole life basically.”
With March Madness here again, Caleb and his roommate, Tyrese Proctor, are part of a team that includes ten Freshmen so the onus to lead naturally falls on the duo. While Caleb is the 6th man of this squad, it is very important to understand ESPN and 247Sports predict up to 6 Blue Devils going to the NBA as part of their 2025 Mock Draft showcasing the quality of this Duke side. March calls for big moments and Caleb Foster is built for them.
