Auburn’s Johni Broome has achieved a historic milestone by becoming the first Tiger to win a major National Player of the Year award. He was named the Sporting News College Basketball Player of the Year, beating out Duke’s Cooper Flagg for the top honor.
This prestigious award is a testament to Broome’s incredible season, where he averaged career highs in points (18.6), rebounds (10.6), and assists (3.3). His impressive performance on the court led Auburn to a regular-season championship, and he was also named the SEC Player of the Year.
What makes Broome’s achievement even more remarkable is his journey to this point. He began his college career at Morehead State, but has since transferred to Auburn, where he has become a dominant force on the court. As a senior, Broome is making a strong case for national player of the year, and his Sporting News College Basketball Player of the Year award is a well-deserved recognition of his hard work and dedication.
Broome’s success is not only a testament to his individual talent but also a reflection of Auburn’s strong basketball program. His achievement has brought pride and excitement to the Auburn community, and fans are eagerly anticipating his future endeavors.
