Dick Vitale unveiled his All-Rolls Royce and Diaper Dandy teams, celebrating the standout performers of the 2025-26 men's college basketball season. Cameron Boozer headlines as National Player of the Year after a dominant freshman campaign at Duke, while Darius Acuff Jr. and JT Toppin also earned top honors. Vitale praised Boozer's versatility and clutch performances that defined the Blue Devils' season.

Travis Steele of Miami (Ohio) was named Coach of the Year for transforming a mid-major program into an NCAA tournament contender. Vitale highlighted Steele's disciplined defense and team chemistry that produced impressive wins. The All-Rolls Royce First Team features Boozer, Toppin, Braden Smith, Acuff, and AJ Dybantsa, representing the season's most impactful players across all positions.

The Diaper Dandy selections spotlight freshmen who made immediate impacts, with Acuff leading that group.
