Overview

  • Charles Jagusah suffered a left humerus fracture in a utility terrain vehicle accident in Wyoming on July 5 and underwent surgery, school officials announced.
  • Notre Dame described his initial surgical prognosis as favorable and plans for him to return to campus this week for further evaluation and care.
  • The sophomore lineman had been projected to open the 2025 season as the Fighting Irish’s starting right guard after shifting between tackle and guard in last year’s playoff run.
  • No definitive recovery timeline has been provided, leading coach Marcus Freeman and offensive line coach Joe Rudolph to reshuffle the depth chart.
  • Jagusah’s absence compounds recent losses of veteran linemen to the transfer portal and tests Notre Dame’s contingency planning before the August 31 opener at Miami.
