Notre Dame's Charles Jagusah Poised for Comeback Start in National Championship

The sophomore lineman, who overcame a preseason injury, could play a pivotal role against Ohio State in the College Football Playoff title game.

Charles Jagusah, Notre Dame's sophomore offensive lineman, is expected to start in Monday's national championship game after recovering from a torn pectoral muscle sustained in August.
Jagusah's return comes as a result of Notre Dame's playoff run and injuries to key linemen, including left tackle Anthonie Knapp, who has been ruled out for the title game.
The 6-foot-7, 330-pound lineman played in backup roles during the playoffs, performing well in Notre Dame's semifinal win over Penn State, where he graded as their best offensive lineman.
Notre Dame's coaching staff credits Jagusah's dedication to rehab and preparation for his ability to step into a starting role late in the season.
The Fighting Irish, aiming for their first national championship since 1988, face a challenging Ohio State defense, with Jagusah potentially playing at either left tackle or right guard.
