Family of Ohio State player says he's been missing since Wednesday
The family of Ohio State defensive tackle Kosta Karageorge says the player has been missing since Wednesday.
He hasn't been heard from since he left his apartment in the morning. He told his family he was taking a walk at approximately 2 a.m.
“He had some extenuating circumstances that night that lead us to believe he was upset,” she said.
Columbus police confirmed they are looking for Karageorge, but detectives were not available for comment.
According to Sophia Karageorge, police later traced his phone through GPS to W. 3rd and Elmwood avenues in Grandview Heights, but have not recovered the phone.
He did not take his motorcycle and he does not have his car on campus,” his sister said.
So he was either picked up, went on foot or took public transportation. He does not have his wallet or any identification on him that we know of because his girlfriend has his wallet.”
Karageorge, 22, is a member of the wrestling team as well and is a walk-on on the football team. He's set to be recognized at Senior Day on Saturday against Michigan, but hasn't been at practice on Wednesday or Thursday, according to his sister.
His sister also told the Dispatch that Karageorge has suffered multiple concussions in sports, including one a month ago. The family is worried the concussion is affecting his mental acuity.
He's appeared in one game this season and is a native of Columbus, Ohio.
