Choosing between Auburn's Broome and Duke's Flagg as national player of the year shouldn’t be as flip-a-coin close as many analysts have suggested.

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.

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.

Another day, another award for Auburn forward Johni Broome. One day after winning the Player of the Year award by the Southeastern Conference, Auburn's star forward claimed the Associated Press SEC Player of the Year award on Tuesday over worthy candidates such as Florida guard Walter Clayton Jr.

Auburn basketball has reached new heights, and Johni Broome is leading the charge. The Tigers’ star forward has been named Sporting News National Player of the Year, making him the first player in program history to win the prestigious award.

Johni Broome and Cooper Flagg are the 2 leaders for National Player of the Year honors, and Seth Greenberg has a favorite between the 2.
