Notre Dame offensive lineman Charles Jagusah breaks arm in UTV accident in Wyoming
School officials announced Sunday that Jagusah had surgery to repair his fractured humerus, which is a bone located between the shoulder and elbow. They said the initial prognosis was 'favorable' and that he would return to campus this week for further evaluation and continued care.

This marks the second consecutive year that Jagusah, one of Notre Dame's most promising offensive linemen, has suffered a major injury before the season.
Jagusah was projected to open 2024 as Notre Dame's starting left tackle, but he tore his right pectoral muscle during preseason practice. He came back to play in the Fighting Irish's final three College Football Playoff games.
He started at left tackle and played all 63 of the Irish's offensive snaps in their 34-23 title game loss to Ohio State. He primarily played guard in their 27-24 Orange Bowl semifinal victory over Penn State.
He was expected to open this season as Notre Dame's starter at right guard. The Irish begin the season Aug. 31 at Miami.

Khary Adams, a 4-star 2026 prospect, is ‘locked in' with Notre Dame
In this era of college football recruiting, a prospect flipping schools had become extremely normal, but Notre Dame received great news that one of its 2026 commits wont be doing that. Maryland cornerback Khary Adams decided on the Irish just a few weeks ago, and a Michigan fan believed that he will make an eventual flip. The 6-foot, 2-inch and 175-pounder was quick to squash that idea, saying 'No,' it would not happen. Adams then doubled down on Tuesday, saying that he is 'locked in' with Notre Dame. This is exactly what Irish fans want to hear, as he is one of the top corners in the country, ranking as the No. 75 overall prospect according to the 247Sports Composite. Pennsylvania safety Joey O'Brien committed on the same day, as the two wanted to roam the secondary together. Fortunately, they will be doing that in South Bend, as the pair along with safety Ayden Pouncey make up an impressive haul in the defensive backfield. The future is extremely bright for Notre Dame, as Adams is a big part of that.

The model was proposed to CFP officials by the Big 12 and ACC, and is currently not favored by the Big Ten and SEC. "We continue to believe the 5+11 model is the right playoff format," Yormark says.
