Notre Dame offensive lineman Charles Jagusah, projected to start at right guard this fall, broke the humerus bone in his left arm in a utility terrain vehicle accident, the university announced Sunday.
“Sophomore OL Charles Jagusah was injured in a UTV accident in Wyoming on July 5th,” Notre Dame posted on social media. “He has undergone surgery to repair a fracture of his left humerus. The initial prognosis is favorable, and he will return to campus early this week for further evaluation and continued care.”
A 6-foot-7, 333-pound sophomore from Rock Island, Ill., Jagusah missed the entire 2024 regular season after tearing his right pectoralis muscle in preseason camp last August.
He recovered in time to play in three College Football Playoff games against Georgia, Penn State and in the national championship game against Ohio State on Jan. 20. He started the title game on the line and played all 63 offensive snaps.
Two starters in that game, offensive linemen Rocco Spindler and Pat Coogan, have transferred to Nebraska and Indiana, respectively, while key reserve Sam Pendleton, a former starter at left guard and backup center, moved on to Tennessee.
