Brodarius Hamm plays guard for Spalding High and is taking his game to Auburn.

Three things to know about Hamm, who was Auburn’s first signing on Wednesday:

1. Athletic ability that astounds: Auburn beat out Florida and Tennessee to land the giant Hamm, a 6-foot-5, 330-pound offensive lineman with impressive athletic ability.

2. Big man in the post: Hamm plays on the Spalding basketball team. He can dunk.

3. Mobility and an NFL prospect: "Brodarious is very athletic for his size, very powerful," Spalding coach Nick Jones said. "I think people will be surprised by how mobile he is. It really shows on the basketball court."
