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

London suffered an ankle injury on Saturday night during USC's homecoming game against Arizona.

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.
