Draft Profile: Bio
Charles Jagusah didn't pick up football until seventh grade after years of soccer and basketball, and he went 41-0 with a state title as a junior wrestler. At Alleman High School he played both ways, and the consensus four-star recruit rated as the top player in Illinois earned a 2023 All-American Bowl selection.Notre Dame played Jagusah in two games as a 2023 freshman, and he started the Sun Bowl against Oregon State at left tackle, the first true freshman to start on the Irish offensive line since Joe Alt in 2021. A torn pectoral in 2024 fall camp wiped out his regular season, but he returned during the College Football Playoff, debuting against Georgia and starting the national championship game against Ohio State, where he played all 63 offensive snaps.
Projected to start at right guard in 2025, Jagusah fractured the humerus in his left arm in a July UTV accident in Wyoming and missed the entire 2025 season, his second straight year lost to injury. He remained on Notre Dame's roster for the 2026 season.
Scouting Report: Strengths
- Astonishing stopwatch numbers for 333 pounds, among the class's best movers at any size.
- Started a College Football Playoff run at two different line positions in 2024.
- Six-foot-seven length that ends reps once his hands land.
- Four-star pedigree the Notre Dame staff still publicly believes in.
Scouting Report: Weaknesses
- Missed all of 2025 after a UTV accident shattered his upper arm.
- Five surgeries, an infection and a bone graft followed; his return date remains undetermined.
- Tore a pectoral the previous spring, two catastrophic injuries in two years.
- Career run blocking graded modest even when healthy.
- Whatever 2026 allows, draft-day film will be two years old.
Scouting Report: Summary
Before the accident, the tools were unmistakable: a 333-pound mover with timed athleticism among the class's best at any size, six-foot-seven length, and a freshman postseason in which Notre Dame started him in a playoff run at two different line positions. Jagusah was tracking toward a multi-year starting career when a UTV accident in Wyoming shattered his upper arm in July 2025 and took the season with it.The medical file has since gotten worse, not better: five surgeries, a discovered infection, a bone graft in March, a missed spring, and a return date Notre Dame will only call undetermined. Add the torn pectoral from the previous spring and he has now lost two offseasons and a season to catastrophic injuries, with career run blocking that graded only modest even at full strength. By draft day, his most recent meaningful film will be two years old.
Nobody can grade what cannot be examined, so this projection is a placeholder around a medical report. If he plays real snaps in 2026, the athletic profile instantly re-enters late-round conversations, because movers like this at his size are drafted on faith every year. If he does not, the evaluation moves to a tryout stopwatch. He files as a medical-flag free agent with dormant draftable traits.

*Percentile Ranking in Player's Position Group (NFL Combine Historical Data): This percentile reflects how a player's specific statistics rank
in comparison to historical performances at the NFL Combine, specifically within their position group. A higher percentile indicates a better performance.
For instance, being in the 90th percentile for a particular stat means the player outperformed 90% of their peers in that category.
*Similarity Percentage: This percentage is calculated based on a comprehensive analysis of various factors, including height, weight, 40-yard dash times, on-field performance statistics, and overall player rating. The analysis is conducted against our database of draft prospects from 2021 to 2023. This similarity score helps in evaluating how closely a current prospect aligns with past prospects. It is important to note, however, that this score reflects similarities based on college production and attributes, and does not account for eventual success or performance in the NFL.
