A dynamic playmaker and one of the most productive wide receivers in Fayetteville State University football history, Christopher Hubert helped usher in a successful era of Bronco Football while establishing himself among the program's all-time receiving leaders. Known for his speed, big-play ability, and consistency, Hubert became one of the CIAA's premier offensive weapons and a key contributor to conference championship teams.
A native of Durham, North Carolina, Hubert competed for the Broncos from 2012-15 and played an instrumental role in Fayetteville State's rise as a CIAA contender. As a freshman, he was a member of the Broncos' 2012 CIAA Championship team, gaining valuable experience on a squad that captured the conference title and solidified Fayetteville State's position among the league's elite programs.
Over the course of his four-year career, Hubert developed into one of the most accomplished receivers in school history, finishing with:
- 150 career receptions
- 1,806 career receiving yards

His combination of production and durability made him one of the most dependable targets in the Broncos' passing attack.
Hubert's breakout season came in 2013 when he emerged as one of the CIAA's top receiving threats. He recorded 59 receptions for 730 yards and nine touchdowns, helping lead Fayetteville State to a 10-3 overall record, the CIAA Southern Division Championship, and an appearance in the CIAA Football Championship Game.
He followed with an even more impressive junior campaign in 2014, posting 65 receptions for 864 yards and 11 touchdowns. His 11 touchdown receptions ranked among the CIAA leaders and established him as one of the conference's most dangerous offensive playmakers. During his final two seasons alone, Hubert amassed 124 receptions, 1,594 receiving yards, and 20 touchdowns, production that placed him among the elite receivers in Division II football.
Beyond the numbers, Hubert's impact was felt in the success of the program.

His ability to make critical plays in big games helped define one of the most successful stretches in Bronco Football history.
Following graduation, Hubert achieved a milestone reached by few former Broncos, earning an opportunity in the National Football League. After going undrafted in the 2016 NFL Draft, he signed with the Arizona Cardinals as a free agent. Hubert spent time on the Cardinals' practice squad before earning a promotion to the active roster on October 26, 2016, becoming one of the select Fayetteville State football players to reach an NFL active roster. He remained with the organization through portions of the 2016 and 2017 seasons, signing a futures contract and participating in offseason and training camp activities. His path from Fayetteville State to the NFL serves as a powerful example of perseverance and determination.
