Kosta Karageorge was the last of 24 Ohio State players who were expected to play their final game at Ohio Stadium against rival Michigan. His family says he was last seen Wednesday.
The seventh-ranked Buckeyes went on to defeat archrival Michigan 42-28. After the game, an emotional coach Urban Meyer addressed the missing player.
“Our prayers and thoughts are with him and his family and to have him return home safe,” Meyer said.
Ohio State’s players were shaken by the 22-year-old Karageorge’s absence.
