On3 5-star Countdown: No. 7 OT Charles Jagusah

With the 2022 recruiting cycle all but wrapped up for most of the nation’s top programs, the recruiting world has turned its eyes toward the class of 2023.

With a bevy of notable quarterbacks, a geographic diversity among the nation’s top players and plenty of other notable storylines, the 2023 cycle is shaping up to be one of the most interesting in recent memory.

And, per usual, the players at the top of the class will be among the most highly-recruited in the nation. The latest edition of On3’s 2023 rankings features 14 players with a coveted five-star rating, up from a previous 11 five-star players. Next up on the countdown is the No. 7 overall prospect in the 2023 cycle, offensive tackle Charles Jagusah of Rock Island, Ill.

Charles Jagusah was previously ranked by On3 at No. 30 and as a four-star prospect, so he saw a big climb in the updated rankings.

Charles Jagusah Scouting Summary

“Charles Jagusah is a big-framed offensive tackle who plays with natural coordination, balance and movement skills. Hits high-end thresholds at the position from a length and frame perspective. A light-footed, easy mover who plays with innate flexibility at his size. Has a strong base that he uses to balance and create power. Has some dominant flashes as a drive blocker and finisher. Also shows some natural tools that project well as a pass protector. Doubles as a defensive tackle at the prep level and received his initial offers on that side of the ball. Is one of the top heavyweight wrestlers in the Midwest, turning in a 41-0 state championship season on the mat as a junior. Does not face top competition and will need to adjust to the uptick in talent level once he gets to college.” — Charles Power, On3 Director of Scouting and Rankings
