30 Best College Football Mascots of All-Time

13. Nebraska Cornhuskers – Lil’ Red

This choice may be somewhat controversial considering Lil’ Red is the other mascot at Nebraska with Herbie Husker the original mascot of the Cornhuskers. Lil’ Red was created in a statewide contest in 1993 and first appeared at a game in 1994.

Herbie Husker had been the school’s only mascot since 1974. Lil’ Red’s inflatable suit pumps in 100 cubic feet of fresh air per minute and allows him to go crowd surfing and bounce around all over the place. The mascot was inducted into the mascot hall of fame in 2007.

There is no better feeling in the world than helping to move Lil’ Red around an endless sea of Cornhuskers fans to keep the spirit alive. Talk about an amazing tradition that will easily continue going on for many more years to come.
