COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) – The mother of a missing Ohio State football player has told police he texted her about his prior concussions the morning he disappeared.
A missing-person report filed with Columbus police Wednesday evening says defensive tackle Kosta Karageorge (KOH’-stah KAHR’-ah-jorj) told his mother he was sorry if he was an embarrassment but concussions had his head messed up.
His mother told police the text was sent at about 1:30 a.m. Wednesday. The 6-foot-5 senior missed practice Wednesday and Thursday and has not been heard from.
His mother, Susan Karageorge, told police he has had several concussions and a few spells of being extremely confused.
The team’s physician said Friday he’s confident in the policies in which athletes are returned to play after injury or illness.
