THE TOP CONTENDERS
Jagusah never released a group of top schools, but if you look at his official visits in June it's clear who the top contenders are. Jagusah has also spoken to Irish Breakdown on multiple occasions about the schools that have stood out the most.
Notre Dame - The Irish have been the team sitting in pole position for quite some time. Jagusah always had high interest in the Irish, but that really took off when Hiestand was hired. The Notre Dame line coach made Jagusah an immediate priority, and that relationship cemented when he trekked to campus in April. Notre Dame got the final visit for Jagusah and made a very strong impression on Jagusah and his mother.
Michigan - Line coach Sherrone Moore did a very good job recruiting Jagusah, getting him on campus twice this spring. He visited Notre Dame and Michigan on back-to-back trips in April and June, and those two programs are the top contenders. Although Notre Dame is in great position the Wolverines did about as well as possible to get into the mix here, and they are clearly the biggest contender.
Arkansas - The Razorbacks are another team that worked hard to build a strong bond with Jagusah. Head coach Sam Pittman and line coach Cody Kennedy both did a great job building a connection with the talented lineman. Jagusah visited Fayetteville for a game (vs. Missouri) and again for an official in June. The Razorbacks made a legit run, but we think they fall short.
Missouri - The Tigers built a good relationship with Jagusah and got him onto campus for a game in October (vs. Texas A&M) and again in June for an official visit. At this point the Tigers appear to be at the bottom of the top list.
