Cosmo's Story
For almost a century, BYU's mascot Cosmo the Cougar has become an icon among fans across the country. He has stunned audiences with his dance moves, daring stunts, and friendly spirit. The Cougar was chosen as BYU's mascot by former coach Eugene L. Roberts in the early 1920's. Cosmo made his first appearance in front of BYU fans on October 15, 1953.
In 1997, Cosmo fell 100 feet while hunting for Red-Tailed Hawks in Rock Canyon. He needed "Cosmotic Surgery" and underwent a new look to help the mascot perform more daring stunts.
The name Cosmo derives from BYU's diverse student body. "BYU is a very international, cosmopolitan school, and that is where we got the name Cosmo," said Daniel T. Gallego, the first person to be Cosmo. Today, Cosmo continues to wow audiences nationwide. Cosmo was recently crowned the 2020 Mascot National Champion.
