Auburn star forward Johni Broome's run of good fortune remained in flow Wednesday as he has locked up another Player of the Year honor. After winning two SEC Player of the Year nods, Broome earned his first National Player of the Year award Wednesday by Sporting News.

Auburn’s Johni Broome (Plant City, Fla.) has earned the highest honor in all of college basketball as the Sporting News National College Player of the Year for the 2024-25 season on Wednesday. Broome led the Tigers to a No.

Broome is now the third player in Auburn history to win the award, joining Charles Barkley in 1984 and Chris Porter in 1999. Broome also received 15 of the 16 player of the year votes, nearly winning the award unanimously.

Auburn star Johni Broome, who leads the league in rebounding and ranks third in scoring, is the Associated Press' Southeastern Conference player of the year.

This national player of the year race is one of the great ones, at least in the discussion and arguments it’s generating and in the quality of the two contenders. Auburn senior forward Johni Broome and Duke freshman forward Cooper Flagg would win it running away in most years.

The first national player of the year award belongs to Johni Broome. Sporting News named Broome its national player of the year on Tuesday, making him the first Tiger to ever win a national player of the year award.

Johni Broome was named Southeastern Conference Player of the Year on Monday, helping lead Auburn to a regular season conference title. The award was voted on by the conference’s head coaches.

Broome finished his final regular season on the Plains averaging 18.6 points, 10.6 rebounds, 3.3 assists, and 2.4 blocks per game.
