Upon returning for his Sophomore season in 2005, Schubert led the Yeomen in receiving yards and touchdowns on the way to his second consecutive All-NCAC selection. Selected as a team captain by his teammates in both the 2006 and 2007 seasons, Schubert continued to lead the team in receptions, returns, and touchdown catches on the way to his third and fourth All-NCAC selections and an invitation to play in the Division III All-American Bowl in Minneapolis, Minnesota.[1] Schubert graduated in 2008 as Oberlin's all-time leader in receiving yards (2,536), receiving touchdowns (23), kick/punt return yards (3,210), and returns for touchdowns. He is the only player in Oberlin College history to return a punt for a touchdown.[2]
