Ohio State received huge news on Tuesday with the commitment of 5-star defensive lineman Eddrick Houston. Even more impressive is the fact the Buckeyes went to SEC country and swayed one of the top prospects to head north. OSU beat Alabama, Clemson, Georgia and USC for Houston’s services.
As with any news of the sort, the 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. While we’re at it, here’s what we see from the talented and strong lineman.
From the coaching staff, to current players, to fellow commitments, here are some of the best moments following the big BOOM! on Tuesday.

Larry Johnson knew where Houston was going after one word
"When you said 'THE' I was done, I was ready for it."

That's saying something
Ohio State dips into Georgia for its highest-ranked Peach State native in the Ryan Day era in Eddrick Houston. The DL is up to 275 pounds and looks better than ever. More here:https://t.co/azr3spPIHg pic.twitter.com/UtqbQF2DzT

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??
