If anyone in college football circles felt the Miami Hurricanes recruiting hot streak had come to a close, they're in for a rude awakening Saturday.

Malik Bryant, Rivals' No. 1 outside linebacker, is set to announce his commitment at 5 p.m. ET/2 p.m. PT and is down to a final four of Alabama, Florida, Maryland and Miami:

The 6-foot-3, 225-pound athlete, out of Jones High School (Orlando, Florida), is rated the nation's No. 26 overall prospect and No. 1 outside linebacker by Rivals, while 247Sports views him as the nation's No. 90 overall prospect and No. 5 linebacker.

Bryant took June official visits to Florida, Maryland and Miami, but heading into his decision one team stands out.

Prediction: Malik Bryant to Miami 

Not only has Mario Cristobal teased that another wave of big-time recruits could soon be on the way, but Bryant has long been rumored as a likely Miami lean.

Still, in the hours leading up to his commitment Florida has made a push and it will be a battle until the end. 

According to 247Sports, Bryant projects as a future Day 2 NFL draft pick:

"A front seven player that can get after the quarterback. Initial burst tends to cause plenty of issues for opposing offensive tackles. Seems to be at his best when he’s asked to just attack the corner, but can track back inside and flush out pockets with a few different well-timed pass rushing moves. Ability to redirect in space and get lateral make him a difference maker outside the hashes. Also owns valuable experience in pass coverage having been asked in the past to stick with much quicker wide receivers coming out of the slot. More of a finesse rusher than power rusher at this stage in his development, but that could change as he matures. Average measurables (believed to be just over 6-foot-2, 235 pounds) and a lack of additional length in the arms could turn away some, but body of work speaks for itself as he started as a freshman in Florida’s highest classification before spending the next two years producing at the national powerhouse that is IMG Academy. Might be best suited for a 3-4 look, but could also find a role in a 4-3 front, potentially even as an off-ball linebacker. Likely going to need some time to get adjusted to the speed and physicality of big-time college football, but has the tools to eventually blossom into a starter for a Top 25 program." 

Miami's class, which ranks No. 11 nationally, would jump to No. 7 with the addition of Bryant, leapfrogging Oklahoma, LSU, Alabama and Tennessee. 

That is, if they can hold off the Gators.
