Stevenson University honors former lacrosse player found dead during surfing trip in Mexico

BALTIMORE -- Former Stevenson University lacrosse player Callum Robinson was found one of three missing surfers found dead Friday on Mexico's Baja California coast.

Stevenson paid tribute to Robinson, who played for the Mustangs from 2013 to 2015, during Saturday's 21-3 win over Eastern, clinching the MAC Commonwealth championship.

Robinson and his brother Jake Robinson and their friend Jack Carter Rhoad went missing on April 27 during their surfing trip in Mexico.

Authorities confirm the three bodies were found in an advanced state of decomposition at the bottom of a well more than 50 feet deep. 

All three are believed to be the victims of foul play according to the FBI. Mexican authorities have arrested several persons of interest and an investigation is underway.   

"Our prayers and thoughts are now for Callum's parents, Martin and Debra Robinson, who lost their two sons; the family of their friend Jack Carter Rhoad; and the many loved ones and friends all of these young men had," Stevenson University said in a statement.  

Robinson is from Perth, Australia, where he played club lacrosse before joining Stevenson's lacrosse team in 2013.

He started all 21 games as a senior in 2015. He led the team with 91 groundballs and 52 caused turnovers and was a scholar student-athlete.

Robinson turned 33 years old on May 1. 

"He was a stellar student, a stellar athlete, and an even better friend. We will look forward to a time when we can all join together as a community to honor and celebrate his life," Stevenson Athletics Director Brett Adams said.
