COMMIT Watch: 2021 LB Mikai Gbayor Announces Decision Date

Will the Mountaineers be adding to the 2021 recruiting class?

"I speak to Coach Brown, [Travis] Trickett, [Jeff] Koonz all the time. We have a great relationship. We talk more than football, but they tell me that I fit right in with what they do," Gbayor told Mountaineer Maven.

Gbayor was originally set to make his college decision on June 1st, but decided to push his decision date back due to the pandemic. The initial thought was that he would eventually be able to take in-person visits to schools, but with the virus still very much active, it looks highly unlikely that he will be able to visit any school anytime soon.

Michigan State and Nebraska appear to be the frontrunners to land Gbayor.
