Neff averaged 19.4 points, 5.2 rebounds and 1.9 assists last season as the Wildcats went 15-10 and advanced to the second round of the Class 5A state tournament.
He also had an offer from Air Force, according to his Rivals.com profile.
Neff becomes the third known local boys basketball player of the 2015 class to commit to a college. He will join Chaparral small forward Jake Holtzmann at DU. Overland point guard Austin Conway has also committed to Wyoming.
DU went 16-15 under coach Joe Scott last season. Next season, the Pioneers will have five local products on their roster, including 2014 Mountain Vista graduate Jake Pemberton.
