Social Slant: Top Twitter reactions to Auburn landing 5-star LB Demarcus Riddick
Auburn football has landed its first 5-star of the Hugh Freeze era. Demarcus Riddick, a 5-star linebacker from Clanton (Ala.) Chilton County will be a Tiger.
Not only is Riddick a flip from Georgia, he is also a top target for Alabama. The Tigers just pulled somewhat of a double-whammy with this pickup (something it has not done in some time).
Riddick, who holds a 5-star rating, is the No. 31 overall recruit in the country, the No. 3 linebacker, and the No. 4 player in the state of Alabama according to the On3 Industry Ranking.

As expected, Auburn fans, media, coaching staff, and players flooded Twitter with reactions to the big news.
