Three-star offensive center Toleafoa Auwae has pushed up his decision date and is all set to commit Friday before kicking off his senior season.

WHAT'S NEXT?: Auwae, the No. 1-rated center in the West region for the 2016 class according to Rivals.com, recently added an offer from UCLA assistant coach Adrian Klemm, and said he would consider making an early pledge to the Bruins given how much he enjoyed his trip to Los Angeles this past spring. UCLA should be considered the favorite.

IN HIS WORDS: "I have no particular dates set, but I still intend to take my official visits after committing," Auwae told Rivals.com.

RIVALS' REACTION: Auwae has drawn looks from across the country and recently added his first SEC offer from Vanderbilt, so that's another school to watch out for no matter what happens later this week. He is set to visit Louisville next month and also intends to take in games at Oregon State and Texas Tech given his longstanding relationship with those coaches. This one probably won't be over until all trips have taken place, but Friday's winner should definitely be considered the frontrunner for the No. 3-rated prospect in the state of Hawaii.
