While Walter Clayton Jr. did not light up the scoreboard the way he had through the rest of the 2025 NCAA Men's Tournament, he took over just in time

Like many players, coaches and fans of college basketball of his generation, when Walter Clayton Jr. thought of March Madness, he thought of Kemba Walker. After all, his 2011 heroics are the stuff of legend at UConn: five wins in five days to win the Big East Tournament and then six more wins across the three weeks of the NCAA Tournament to lead the No.

After capping off an outstanding March Madness run with a 65-63 win over Houston in the national championship game on Monday, Florida's Walter Clayton Jr. was named the 2025 NCAA Tournament Most Outstanding Player.
