Family Reports Ohio State Football Player Misisng

The sister of an Ohio State University football player said his family has reported him missing after he left his apartment, then uncharacteristically missed two practices and didn't check in. Sophia Karageorge said Kosta Karageorge, 22, was last seen at his apartment around 2 a.m. Wednesday. Sophia Karageorge said her brother apparently was upset, and roommates said he went for a walk, dressed in all black. Police were looking for the 6-foot-5 senior defensive tackle, but weren't available for comment Thursday. His sister said he didn't take his wallet or motorcycle. She said he has a history of sports-related concussions, including one a month ago, and his family is concerned he might have become disoriented. The former wrestler joined the football team as a walk-on this season. There was no immediate comment by Ohio State on Karageorge.
