Karageorge was a walk-on for the Ohio State football team and also wrestled. Columbus police confirmed they found the body of missing Ohio State University football player Kosta Karageorge in a dumpster near the Ohio State campus on Sunday night. According to a police report, Karageorge's mother said he struggled with sports-related concussions and his sister said he had suffered one a month prior. Karageorge had been missing for five days since leaving his apartment around 2 a.m. on Wednesday morning.
The Ohio State University Department of Athletics was shocked and saddened to learn today of the death of student-athlete Kosta Karageorge, a senior from Columbus. Ohio State held a moment of silence for Karageorge before Saturday's game against Michigan and a missing poster was displayed on the scoreboard at Ohio Stadium. After the game, coach Urban Meyer called Karageorge's disappearance "unbelievable" and said "All you can do is grab a knee and play hard."
Our thoughts and prayers are with the Karageorge family, and those who knew him, during this most difficult time. " Karageorge was a member of the wrestling team for three years before joining the football team in the fall. He had suffered a history of sports-related concussions according to his mother per media reports.
