As a College Recruit

Powerful, versatile defensive lineman who imposes his will on opposing offensive linemen. Measured in at a shade under 6-foot-4, 275 pounds prior to his senior season. Added significant mass during his junior season. Has a naturally large frame with plus length for the position with arms that measure 34 inches. Primarily lines up as a defensive end in a 3-man front for Georgia power Buford High, where he faces strong competition.. A physical, high effort player who is active as a run defender. Capable of setting the edge. Shows the motor and athleticism to make high level plays in pursuit. Primarily a straight line pass rusher at this point. Looks to overpower offensive linemen with his bull rush. Has the length and speed to power to walk offensive linemen back to the quarterback. More of a linear athlete at this time. Will need to improve his bend flexibility if he’s to stick on the edge long-term. Could grow into a defensive tackle or play as a 4i in a 3-man front. Also has a wrestling background and runs track. Has a wrestling background and also runs track.

Eddrick Houston shows off play strength against Marietta

Charles Power

Eddrick Houston has been a stalwart on a dominant defensive unit at Georgia powerhouse Buford High this season. The 6-foot-3, 255-pounder hasn’t slowed down since flashing in Buford’s nationally-televised season opener. On Friday, he tallied three tackles for loss, two sacks and three pressures in a 14-0 win over Marietta (Ga.) High. Houston’s considerable play strength and physicality results in a highly disruptive defender at the high school level. It remains to be seen where he’ll end up from a size and positional perspective, but there’s no question Houston is having a strong start to his junior season.

Jeremy Johnson

Saw Houston during spring practices. He's added 30 pounds of muscle. He was able to physically dominant in practices in the run game as well as as a pass rusher.
