Social media goes wild after USC lands elite Oklahoma State LB Mason Cobb
The USC Trojans don’t mess around in the transfer portal, especially with Lincoln Riley in town.
On the same day that they landed Arizona star WR Dorian Singer, the Trojans addressed some needs on defense by landing Oklahoma State LB Mason Cobb.
Cobb was the No. 2-ranked LB in the portal and is a much-needed addition to the Trojans, especially with Ralen Goforth headed to Washington and Tuli Tuipulotu still deciding on his next destination (NFL or not).
Alex Grinch must be happy to land a talented player such as Cobb. Trojan fans and USC reporters and analysts immediately took to social media to share their thoughts:
TRANSFER RANKING IS GOING UP
Based on the new numbers, Mason Cobb's commitment pushes #USC's transfer class to No. 5 in the nation https://t.co/o1O3Xz7TN4

MORE MORE MORE!
MOAR LINEBACKERS
Biggest commitment yet for USC out of the transfer portal. Major position of need plus a very productive starter from another Power 5 program.
Cobb was All-Big-12 second team and led OkState with 96 tackles. https://t.co/oFv9anARom

CHESS AND CHECKERS
Mason Cobb is another big name. They have no shortage of top players they could target. I just knew Riley loved Flowe as a recruit. It made sense, but I guess they’ll take Flowe if they lost Singer lol. https://t.co/Mkmk9T4ZRh

Complete stat line for Mason Cobb is mouthwatering:
96 tackles, 13 TFL, 11 QBH, 2 sacks, 1 INT, 1 FF, 1 PBU
