The Ohio State football team will all wear a helmet decal with Kosta Karageorge's No. 53. Fellow defensive lineman Michael Bennett is going a step further.
The senior DT who will likely be playing on Sundays in the NFL next season will wear Karageorge's No. 53 instead of his usual No. 63 as the Buckeyes play Wisconsin Saturday night in the Big Ten championship game.
Earlier this week, the Buckeyes attended the funeral of Karageorge, who was missing for several days before his body was discovered on Sunday, November 30.
Karageorge was a member of the Ohio State wrestling team, and walked on to the football team this season.
