Morehead State transfer Johni Broome has committed to Auburn, he tells On3.

“It felt like the right place for me to be and a place that I can call home,” Broome said to On3. “Bruce Pearl and the coaching staff showed me how valuable I could be, how much they cared about me, and the work they are willing to put in to take me to the next level and expand my game as a whole. Auburn University is a wonderful place to be and I’m ready to get to work.”

The 6-foot-10 power forward averaged 16.8 points, 10.5 rebounds, and 3.9 blocks per game last season.
