John Houston Commits to USC, Social Media Reacts

Serra linebacker John Houston committed and signed for USC Wednesday on Signing Day, giving the Trojans their fourth of four major pick ups at the linebacker position.

The four-star linebacker joins up with five-star Osa Masina, four-star Porter Gustin and four-star Cameron Smith at USC and gives the Trojans yet another defensive weapon for 2015.

Unsurprisingly, Twitter was abuzz with the news. Here’s the best of the social media reaction:

USC locked up Osa Masina, Porter Gustin, Rasheem Green, and John Houston down the stretch. Still waiting on 2 more to make it 6 for 6

USC’s ability to recruit Serra is unparalleled. Trojans land DL Rasheem Green and LB John Houston. This is like when Thanos had all six gems
