Youngstown, Ohio – Former Oberlin College football star Chris Schubert caught a touchdown pass in his professional debut last night for the Mahoning Valley Thunder of af2. His fourth quarter score helped the Thunder come-from-behind to upend the Albany Firebirds 44-34 on Friday night.

Schubert, a local native of Oberlin, finished the game with 35 total yards as he caught two balls for 16 yards – including a four-yard fourth-quarter score – and also rushed two times for 19 yards.

Schubert's touchdown catch came with 8:10 left in the fourth and was the first of three answered scores by the Thunder and cut the Albany lead to 34-30.

Schubert, a 2008 graduate who participated in mini camp with the Cleveland Browns, is the school's all-time leader in career receiving yards (2,536) and touchdown receptions (23).

He is not only dangerous as a wide out, but as a return specialist as well. His 2,867 career kickoff return yards and 343 punt return yards are also school best.
