AUBURN, AL — Some athletes play to win. Others play to dominate. But Johni Broome? He’s rewriting the very definition of greatness.
In a moment that shook the foundations of college basketball, Auburn’s star forward Johni Broome has achieved the unthinkable—becoming the first player in NCAA history to record a mind-blowing 2,500 points, 1,500 rebounds, and 400 blocks in a single career. This isn’t just a milestone. It’s a monument. A legacy carved in stone. A record that may never be touched again.
To top off his historic campaign, Broome has been unanimously selected to the First-Team All-American squad by all four major organizations: AP, NABC, USBWA, and Sporting News.

The Stats That Shook the Nation
Let’s take a step back and absorb this:
2,500 career points
1,500 career rebounds
400+ career blocks
That combination of scoring, rebounding dominance, and defensive power has never been achieved in the history of men’s college basketball. Not by Shaquille O’Neal. Not by Tim Duncan. Not by David Robinson. Only Johni Broome.
Broome’s numbers tell the story of a relentless force—a two-way titan who dominated every inch of the court. His footwork in the paint? Impeccable. His shot-blocking timing? Lethal. His basketball IQ? Elite. And with every game, Broome wasn’t just adding numbers—he was adding weight to his legacy.
