Carlos Boozer may be appearing on your television screen this fall.

ESPN announced Tuesday that the 1999 Juneau-Douglas High School graduate will serve as a college basketball analyst on its ACC Network.

Boozer, who could not immediately be reached for comment, will provide studio coverage of the network’s men’s college basketball season.
