A Notre Dame offensive lineman suffered a major setback in his college football career after he was involved in a UTV accident in Wyoming on Saturday. Charles Jagusah, the starting right guard for the Fighting Irish, missed the regular season in 2024 following a pectoral injury he sustained in training camp.
The sophomore returned to play for the Irish against Penn State in the College Football Playoff semifinal and against Ohio State in the national championship. Unfortunately for Jagusah, he will likely miss at least a couple of months after he sustained a fracture of his left humerus on the July 4th weekend holiday.
