College Station, TX – In a historic moment that has left both fans and sports historians in awe, Texas A&M University’s beloved mascot Reveille—fondly known as “Miss Rev”—has been officially crowned the World’s Best Mascot by ESPN. The prestigious title follows an extraordinary, record-breaking global parade and showcase that united Aggies and captivated viewers across continents.
The event, dubbed the “Mascot World Parade,” featured mascots from over 50 universities and sports organizations, each vying for the crown. But it was Reveille IX, the current holder of the title “First Lady of Aggieland,” who stole the spotlight with grace, poise, and commanding charisma. Draped in maroon and white, Reveille was a symbol of loyalty, tradition, and elegance—embodying the spirit of the Aggie family.
ESPN analysts cited Reveille’s unmatched legacy, deep cultural roots, and dignified demeanor as key factors in her win. “She’s not just a mascot—she’s a living icon. Her presence elevates the spirit of the team and represents a century-old tradition that no other mascot can rival,” said ESPN’s college sports analyst Lisa Carraway.
The global parade, streamed live and watched by millions, featured a breathtaking walk down a runway filled with school anthems, choreographed cheers, and synchronized pageantry. Reveille’s segment, backed by the Texas A&M Corps of Cadets, brought the house down as she trotted proudly beside her handler in a dazzling maroon-and-gold cape.
Social media erupted with admiration. The hashtags #MissRevReigns and #AggiePride trended worldwide, as celebrities, alumni, and college football fans joined in the celebration.
Texas A&M President Gen. (Ret.) Mark A. Welsh III expressed pride in Reveille’s victory. “She represents everything we hold dear—honor, loyalty, and the Aggie spirit. This recognition is not just for Reveille, but for the entire Aggie family.”
Miss Rev’s victory not only places her in the history books but elevates the entire college mascot tradition, proving that sometimes, grace and legacy trump flash and flair.
