i will be surprised if he ever plays another meaningful down. hard to believe he’s done any serious
work in the weight room for nearly a year.
Respectfully, I disagree.
While your scenario is possible, i think it is more likely that he will be able to be back to previous form (or close to it)....but just not this upcoming year.
Bone growth around the temporary stabilizing implants was being inhibited by the inflammation caused by infection. It can be VERY difficult to eliminate an infection in the presence of such a foreign body, but if this can be achieved, I would expect a young, strong, well-muscled patient like Jagusah to still be able to heal well (I do admit that the specifics of his fracture are unclear, but I wouldn't expect ND medical personnel to express such optimism if it were not a type of fracture that would be expected to heal well if not inhibited). Also, there was no mention of resistant organisms.
I don't see Jagusah being able to regain his muscle mass and strength fast enough to be able to surpass present players on the 2 deep this upcoming year....he probably wouldn't be able to begin that process even after success until the Fall. But he is a true senior this year who has not burned even one year of eligibilty. That means that he has a minimum of 2026 and 2027 seasons to play, and he would be a shoe in for a 6th yr of eligibility if he chose to fill out the paper work for 2028.
I like the details of your explanation. I'm sticking with "See ya in 2027."---respectfully.

I'm sure he will be fine but he might have thrown away 50 mil due to that utv accident

I heard Aneyas Williams will be limited this Spring as well.

Recently had elbow surgery
Williams will be good to go, full speed, in fall camp.
Yes, but he was running around out there on day 1.

Having one final "cleanup" surgery
Should be minimally invasive.
Edit: ND trainer Rob Hunt said that it was also to clear out an infection, and to stimulate bone growth.
Article with Hunt's statement:
For those who can't watch the video.
""He's had four subsequent surgeries. He's got a final surgery today, but [he had surgery after] the injury itself. [Then], about two weeks afterwards, he had a clean-out procedure just relative to his wound closure, so that was surgery No. 2. In September, the hardware, due to the bone not healing, failed, so the hardware was exchanged in September, and we were hopeful at that time that the injury would begin to heal. It did not.
"In January, the hardware was taken out again, and we were able to identify some infection that was in there, probably from the initial injury. So, he's gone through a sense of antibiotics and antibiotic seeding into the bone. That hardware now is going to go back in, so the bone will be grafted again today, and we're extremely hopeful. We're really optimistic. We think that the infection was probably inhibiting some of his bone growth, and now he's in a position without infection. The bone will be grafted and stabilized, and this will allow him to fully heal. He's got more to go. There's a lot more rehab involved."

That reads like Bo Jackson's hip injury

Sounds like 2026 is also a no-go
