In a landmark moment for college basketball, Auburn’s Johni Broome has etched his name into NCAA history books with a series of extraordinary accomplishments. Broome became the first player in NCAA history to achieve the staggering feat of recording 2,500 points, 1,500 rebounds, and 400 blocks in a single career — a testament to his consistency, dominance, and all-around skill over his collegiate tenure. To top off an already historic season, Broome has now been honored as a unanimous First-Team All-American, making him the first in Auburn program history to achieve this rare distinction.
Broome’s All-American nod comes with recognition from all four major awarding organizations: the Associated Press (AP), the United States Basketball Writers Association (USBWA), the National Association of Basketball Coaches (NABC), and The Sporting News. Such a sweep underscores not only his statistical achievements but also his impact on the court, leadership, and the respect he’s garnered nationwide. This places Broome in elite company, as unanimous selections are typically reserved for players who transcend their teams and define a season.
What sets Broome apart is not just his gaudy stats, but the way he achieved them. A force in the paint, Broome has dominated both ends of the floor with an uncanny ability to control the glass, alter shots, and finish around the rim. He has become the heart and soul of Auburn basketball, guiding the team through some of its most successful seasons and redefining expectations for the program.
His historic career total of 2,500 points, 1,500 rebounds, and 400 blocks is unprecedented — no player has ever reached those combined benchmarks in NCAA history, let alone maintained the level of play necessary to do so.
With his name now engraved in NCAA lore and Auburn history, Johni Broome’s legacy is secure. As the accolades continue to pour in, one thing is certain: college basketball may never see another quite like him.
