Notre Dame Offensive Lineman Jagusah Suffers Second Major Injury in UTV Accident

Notre Dame offensive lineman Charles Jagusah suffered a fractured left humerus in a UTV accident in Wyoming and underwent surgery, with an initial favorable prognosis but uncertain recovery time as the 2025 season approaches. This marks the second consecutive year Jagusah has faced a major injury before the season, having missed most of 2024 due to a torn right pectoral muscle but returning late to start in key College Football Playoff games. Jagusah was expected to start at right guard this season, but his injury compounds depth issues for Notre Dame's offensive line, which has lost several interior linemen to the transfer portal. The Fighting Irish, coached by Marcus Freeman, face a challenging early schedule against strong Power Four opponents, making Jagusah's absence particularly impactful. Notre Dame will rely on returning standout tackles and evaluate guard options during fall camp to compensate for these losses. Fans await further updates after Notre Dame's medical evaluations later this week.
