4-star IOL Gus Corsair set to announce commitment, Oregon trending

A heated recruiting battle is coming to an end on Thursday, and the Oregon Ducks could find themselves as the victors by the end of the day.

Four-star offensive lineman Gus Corsair is set to announce his commitment tomorrow between Oregon, Miami and Vanderbilt. The 6-foot-3, 290-pound center from Hays, Kansas, has seen his recruitment intensify in recent months, and it appears to be coming down to the Hurricanes and Ducks, with the Commodores being seen as a dark horse.

Earlier in the process, Corsair seemed likely to stay close to home with Kansas State, Oklahoma and Nebraska all battling hard. However, Oregon and Miami have both come on strong lately. Despite being a bit undersized, the Hurricanes and Ducks both have track records of producing NFL-caliber offensive linemen. Corsair's size suggests he could stick at center or move to guard.

Corsair is the No. 313 overall prospect, according to the Rivals Industry Ranking and the No. 21 interior offensive lineman. He's also the No. 2 player from the state of Kansas.

The Ducks could really use his commitment, adding to a mostly defensive class that ranks No. 7 in the country. Oregon's only committed offensive lineman in the class is three-star tackle Avery Michael, but the Ducks are also making strong efforts to secure four-star Ismael Camara later in the cycle.

Oregon offensive line coach A'lique Terry was scheduled to visit with Corsair on Wednesday, meaning the Ducks might have gotten the last word before he makes his decision. It's a good sign for the Ducks that Corsair announced his intention to commit just one day later.
