30 Best College Football Mascots of All-Time

14. Wake Forest Demon Deacons – Demon Deacon

Wake Forest doesn’t have much success on the football field, but that’s not the fault of Demon Deacon. The school’s mascot dressed with a more dignified look than other mascots and attempted to resemble that of a real-life deacon.

Founded as a Baptist college, Wake Forest originally had a tiger as the mascot and their nicknames were “Baptists,” or “The Old Gold & Black” before they were dubbed the Demon Deacons in 1923 by the student newspaper.

It wasn’t until 1941 that the actual mascot first appeared and now you can see Demon Deacon ride a motorcycle on the football field, basketball court, and soccer fields. Now that’s one cool deacon!
