Twitter Reacts To USC WR Drake London's Heart-Wrenching Injury

Emotions ran high on Saturday night as star USC wide receiver Drake London suffered an injury to his right ankle during the Trojans 41-34 victory over the Arizona Wildcats.

London caught a six-yard pass from freshman quarterback Jaxson Dart in the end zone for a USC touchdown, but shortly after grabbed his leg in extreme pain. USC medical staff rushed over to London immediately to address the injury, placed him in an air-cast and carted him off the field.

"It's really tough, when they brought the cast I knew it wasn't good and you never like to see an injury, but when I saw that I knew it was really bad news," said USC quarterback Kedon Slovis after the game. "It sucks. Best receiver, [and] player on the team so it hurts a lot."

Although interim head coach Donte Williams has yet to confirm London's long-term status, he admitted on Saturday that 'season-ending' is a 'fear'. Many took to social media to support the talented wide receiver after the incident. Here are their reactions:

Media Reacts:

Needless to say, no USC player has been more vital this season than Drake London. In a brutal season, London has given this team everything he has.

He was expected to be a first-round draft pick after this season.

Drake London has been the captain USC needed this season, leading by example and earlier this week committing to playing in a potential bowl game even as his draft stock has skyrocketed. Can only hope the injury is less serious than it looks.
