Auburn Tigers basketball star Johni Broome has made headlines with a pivotal decision about his future with the program. The senior forward, who has been a cornerstone of Auburn’s success this season, announced that he will declare for the 2025 NBA Draft after completing his collegiate career.
Broome shared the news in a heartfelt statement, thanking the Auburn community for its unwavering support during his time with the Tigers. “Auburn has been more than a team to me—it’s been my family,” Broome said. “The experiences I’ve had here and the fans who’ve cheered us on every step of the way have prepared me for this next chapter. I’m excited to pursue my dream of playing in the NBA.”
The 6-foot-10 forward has been instrumental in Auburn’s dominance this season, averaging 17.5 points, 9.2 rebounds, and 2.3 blocks per game.
