Ohio State got some huge news on Tuesday with the verbal commitment of 5-star defensive lineman Eddrick Houston. Even more impressive is the fact that the Buckeyes went down to SEC country and swayed one of the top prospects to head north. OSU beat out Alabama, Clemson, Georgia, and USC for Houston’s services.
As with any news of the sort, Ohio State social media was in a celebratory mood after the announcement, and we have some of the best X (formerly known as Twitter) reactions to the commitment. And while we’re at it, here’s what we see from the talented and strong lineman.

Yes it was said, and it’s crazy
Maybe I didn’t hear it clearly, and I’m mistaken but did someone say during Eddrick Houston commitment live video that he also is the anchor leg in the 4×400 relay? That can’t be right at 270 running against them Georgia Boys??
