Top 2025 recruit Brandie Harrod commits to Auburn

Top 2025 recruit Brandie Harrod has committed to the Auburn Tigers, she told On3. 

“When I went down there, the way that they brought me down there was just different than everybody else,” Harrod told On3. “When I first got there, I just felt like I was at home – just watching them practice and seeing them interact with each other. The coaches just made me feel like I was at home.”

Harrod, a 6-foot guard from Oklahoma City (Oklahoma) Millwood High School chose the Tigers over  Mississippi State, Clemson, Colorado, Georgia, Utah, Oklahoma State, Florida State and Kansas State. 

“I haven’t been talking to them for that long – since I got an offer this summer,” Brandie Harrod said. “Even in that short period of time, I gained a good relationship with them. I just bonded with them as soon as I got there. It just clicked as soon as I got there.”

Brandie Harrod: Auburn is a perfect fit

Between the relationships, the family feel and the style of play, it was a perfect fit for Brandie Harrod. 

“They play really fast, and they like to get rebounds and go,” Harrod said. “They don’t like to set up plays as much as like any other team. And they like to get down the court and get fastbreak points, and that’s what I like to do.” 

This style of play aligns with how Harrod describes herself as a player and what she is looking for in a landing spot. She feels as though Auburn is a place where she can maximize her potential and play the style of play she was seeking. 

“I’m definitely a good defensive player,” Harrod said in a previous interview. “I’ll get down, get a bucket and then get right back on defense. I’m a fast-paced type of player. Before I go to college, I want to get my 3-point shot more consistent.”
