Here's how Stockmaster's GoFundMe page described his plight:
"He was pursuing his dream of a degree in Criminology and collegiate wrestling at Cleveland State University when he was faced with the greatest challenge of his life. After a back injury in July that quickly progressed to Caleb losing the ability to walk. He went to the hospital where a vertebral fracture was discovered. He underwent surgery where a multi-level spinal fusion was done. During the surgery it was discovered that a tumor was actually the cause. After his surgery he regained his ability to walk and his pain was somewhat relieved.
"After extensive medical workup the primary cancer site was found to be esophageal cancer. Caleb and his family are facing the fight of their lives. Caleb's prognosis is very grim..."
The fundraising goal for Stockmaster is $50,000.
During the 2017-18 season, Stockmaster wrestled as a redshirt sophomore at CSU, compiling a 21-13 record at 174 pounds, according to his bio at the official Viking wrestling website.
