During his senior season in 2007, Hogan compiled over 1,500 yards of total offense with 13 touchdowns (42 in his career), while also intercepting 3 passes on defense (8 in career). His performance led to him being named the Offensive Most Valuable Player of the Dual County League, being selected to the Super 26 Massachusetts All-State team, as well as being named as an all league player for the 3rd year in a row. Hogan played for coach Tom Lopez. He was also selected to participate in the Massachusetts Shriners Bowl all-star game. Hogan was also a standout in baseball and won Lincoln-Sudbury's Outstanding Senior Award.[1]

On October 19, 2007 the Georgia State University Mandatory Student Fee Committee unanimously approved a proposal from the Athletics Department for an $85 per semester increase to support football, additional women’s sports and a marching band program. The committee also unanimously approved a $35 increase request from the Student Activity Fee Committee that would increase funding for student organizations, fine arts programming and a lecture and concert series. Georgia State University was approved by the Board of Regents the total amount of $85 per semester for support of football, and approved for $21 out of $35 for the Student Activity Fee increase. By November, Georgia State held a pair of town-hall meetings on the subject of football, in which students, alumni, and faculty were able to comment on the addition of football. At this time, it was stated that if football were to proceed at Georgia State they could play at the Georgia Dome.[3]
