COLUMBUS, Ohio -- Kosta Karageorge cut a looming figure on the Ohio State campus with his 6-foot-3, 273-pound frame, penchant for riding his motorcycle to class -- in the winter -- and career ambition to become a professional wrestler. He walked on to the Ohio State football team in August, but was best known for his three years as a varsity heavyweight wrestler at the school.
