Ohio State head coach Urban Meyer released a statement Friday on behalf of the institution regarding defensive end Kosta Karageorge, who is missing. 

Columbus Police have confirmed that the senior walk-on is unaccounted for and that they're actively searching for him, according to USA Today's Scott Gleeson.

Meyer's statement:

Our thoughts continue to be with the family of Kosta Karageorge and we pray that he is safe and that he is found soon. He is a young man who joined the football team in August and was a hard worker on the field and pleasant off the field. He has been an important player in practice for us, right up until the time he was reported missing. If anyone knows anything about his whereabouts, please help his family and contact the authorities.
