Brodarious Hamm had good news to share Thursday: Eight months after being diagnosed with Hodgkin's lymphoma, he has beaten the disease.

“Man I'm cancer free,” Hamm wrote in a Facebook post. “All praise be to God.”

Just a month after signing with Auburn on National Signing Day, Hamm learned he had cancer. Auburn coach Gus Malzahn assured the football program would be with Hamm every step of the way.

“Our thoughts and prayers are with him and his family. He's a fine young man with a fine family,” Malzahn said in March. “He's got a great attitude. Very unfortunate. … We're going to be there for him. He's going to get through this. We expect him to be with us after a short period of time after he gets healthy.”

Not long after his diagnosis, Hamm told AuburnUndercover he was admittedly “scared” when he first heard the news. But he quickly shifted his focus to overcoming the obstacle in front of him.

“I talked with the doctor and he said I'd be all right,” Hamm said. “He was just like, "This is nothing to worry about. Believe in the treatment and believe in God and everything will be all right."

Hamm, a three-star signee, was ranked as the nation's No. 32 offensive tackle in the 2016 class according to the 247Sports Composite. Hamm enrolled in classes at Auburn this summer.

Malzahn can't wait for Hamm to take the field.

"He has the ability to play inside or at tackle," Malzahn said on National Signing Day. "He’s a big athletic guy, a very smart guy and we’re excited about coaching big Brodarious.”
