BOARDMAN, OH. - The Mahoning Valley Thunder is pleased to announce, in conjunction with the arenafootball2 League Office that Quarterback Rick Webster, (6'4, 220), has been assigned to the 2009 roster. Webster enters his rookie season in the af2.
In 31 games at Hanover College (Hanover, IN), Webster completed 410 of 713 passes for 4,549 yards and 43 touchdowns through the air. The former Panther added another 174 yards by way of the ground, and was twice named to the All-HCAC (Heartland Collegiate Athletic Conference) team.

Following the 2006 campaign, Webster was awarded the Hanover College Raymond Struck Mental Attitude Award.
