Neurologist Found Protein Associated With CTE In Kosta Karageorge’s Brain

A neurologist who posthumously examined the brain of former Ohio State football player Kosta Karageorge said she found a protein that's associated with chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE).

Karageorge, who wrestled at Ohio State and was a walk-on defensive lineman for the Buckeyes, committed suicide in November 2014. The New York Times published a detailed profile of Karageorge and his family on Tuesday and his parents said their son had suffered approximately 15 concussions throughout his life.
