Blake Muir to Grayshirt?

According to an Aussie fitness blog, looks like Blake Muir has accepted a grayshirt offer from UH.
CONGRATULATIONS BLAKE MUIR ON A SCHOLARSHIP OFFER TO THE UNIVERSITY OF HAWAII FOR JANUARY 2011

Very few Australians have made it in American football. Fewer still are those who play positions other than punter. Blake Muir will be the seventh Australian to play football for the University of Hawai’i and will take over from current Warrior Adrian Thomas who is in his senior season in 2010.
Over at SportsHawaii.com, Hawkpeter confirms Blake's intentions of going to UH, where he will most likely playing offensive tackle.
Blake will be going over for a second visit the middle of next month with his parents and to meet Coach Shaw whom we did not get to meet last time we were there. At that time he will be able to confirm his intentions in person with UH. Blake was originally playing and preparing as a defensive end prospect but switched to an offensive focus mid way through the 2009 season. By the time next January comes around he'll be fully prepared as an offensive tackle.

The 2010 recruiting class still has to be finalized for UH, however Blake will be preparing as though he will not be on scholarship until August 2011; there are always variables with players qualifying and decommitting but at this stage the greyshirt scenario would be a fortunate bonus and every indication is that the football program is confident that the 2010 class will be considerably more solid than the 2009 class. The extra Spring semester will make a big difference in terms of development and is really seen as a necessary advantage to take.
Here's a highlight video of him from last year:
