Notre Dame Football Star Jagusah Injured in Wyoming UTV Accident

Notre Dame offensive lineman Charles Jagusah suffered a serious injury in a utility-terrain vehicle (UTV) accident in Wyoming on July 5, resulting in a fractured left humerus that required surgery. Jagusah, a 6-foot-7, 328-pound redshirt sophomore, was expected to be a key contributor for the Fighting Irish in the 2025 season, primarily at guard. This injury follows a previous major setback in 2024 when he missed most of the season due to a torn pectoral muscle but returned for the College Football Playoff run. Notre Dame's initial prognosis for Jagusah's recovery is favorable, though his availability for fall camp and the start of the season remains uncertain. The team faces a challenging 2025 schedule including games against Miami, Texas A&M, Arkansas, Boise State, and USC, making Jagusah's health an important factor. Fans and the program are hopeful for his full recovery, acknowledging the significant impact his absence could have on the offensive line.
