Overview

  • Charles Jagusah suffered a fractured left humerus in a UTV accident in Wyoming on July 5 and underwent successful surgery.
  • Notre Dame announced he will return to campus early this week for further evaluation and continued care.
  • Before the injury, Jagusah was projected to start at right guard for the 2025 season opener at Miami on August 31.
  • This marks his second consecutive preseason setback after a right pectoral tear cost him the 2024 regular season, highlighting both his resilience and the program’s injury risks.
  • Notre Dame’s coaching staff is considering options such as promoting Sullivan Absher or other young linemen to fill the guard vacancy.
