Several former Badger football players made impacts at the college level in 2007.

Brock Stickler saw plenty of playing time at the Division I level as a starting slot receiver at North Texas. On the year, Stickler caught 37 passes for 391 yards and two touchdowns.

Keith Null guided West Texas A&M to its third straight Lone Star Conference title, leading the Buffaloes to a 12-1 record. Null threw for 4,134 yards and a nation-leading 41 touchdowns.

Chris Coleman helped guide Trinity University to the Division III playoffs. The wide receiver caught 51 passes for 840 yards and four touchdowns.

The team that knocked off Trinity in the playoffs, University of Mary-Hardin Baylor, featured two former Badgers. Kristen and Kirsten Leverett helped the Crusaders to the Division III semifinals. Kristen finished the year with 28 tackles and 1.5 sacks, and Kirsten notched four tackles.
