Former Badgers have been able to continue their playing careers for Utah, Utah State, Weber State, Utah Valley and Dixie State. He has also seen others move on to Eastern Washington and to Atlantic Coast Conference stalwart, the University of Virginia.

Calles moved to Provo at the conclusion of his playing days and he was able to continue his career at a player with Brigham Young University.
